Nautile

$6.00

FINISHED SIZE: 

49” (diameter) x 38” (depth/radius)

MATERIALS: 

Expression Fiber Arts Pearlescent Worsted Yarn

Shown in: 3 skeins Portland at Night

Approximately 596 yds were used for the sample shown.

If those colors aren't available, any from this category will work.

Needle: 

US size 7 (4.5 mm) 24” to 60” circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge. As your shawl grows in size, you'll want to transition to needles with a longer cable.

Any size that is appropriate for the yarn selected. Refer to the tag/label for the recommended sizes. 

SKILL LEVEL:

Adventurous Beginner: This pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include: increasing stitches by knitting into the front and back of the same stitch and knitting two stitches together.

Notes From the Designer:

Nautile, which is French for nautilus, is a semi-circular, spiral wedge shawl that features repeating sections of eyelet lace and reverse stockinette stitch. The contrasting textures of these two stitch patterns, which alternate across five wedges, mimic the curves of a nautilus shell. The nautilus shell is a beautiful symbol of life, internal harmony, creation, and evolution that also conforms to the sacred geometry of the Golden Mean, which appears throughout nature and art.

Nautile is knitted flat, and each of the five wedges is constructed by adding one stitch at the beginning of each wedge on all right-side rows. The wedges grow evenly and radiate out from your centrally placed cast-on point. Once you’ve cast on and completed the eight set-up rows, you’ll repeat a four-row stitch pattern that makes up the remainder of the shawl. This all-over design allows the Pearlescent Worsted yarn’s shimmer and shine to take center stage.

  • Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect yardage and size.
  • The length and the width of the shawl are customizable by adding additional rows.
  • Pattern comes with written and charted instructions.

I made this pattern with Luster Worsted, and it looks beautiful. I made it with a gradient of colors, and next time, I will try it with a solid, because the pattern will show through better. The instructions are perfect. Thank you.

Well, I watched the video, began the project, then ripped it out and started over, doing it a MUCH EASIER way. Doing yarnovers over 6 stitch markers was impossible. Got rid of the markers and put knit stitches at each section change, and it's getting fun and gorgeous.

I am looking forward to trying this pattern with the pearlescent worsted weight yarn -- I am hoping that they come out with something like the June Pearl (was available in cashsilk) that I could use. I think that would be stunning!

I've started this project about 20 times, but always end up with a different number of stitches in the sections. It's easier to rip out 2-3 inches then it is to go back and un-knit a row. I have finally put it away for a while. I will figure out how to re-write the pattern so the sections are easier to distinguish from each other. I will be successful.....just not right now.

Found the pattern numbers on rows did not match up. The pearl style wool was very fuzzy while working with it. Lots of pills.

I love this pattern - I’m an adventurous beginner and what made this possible for me to tackle was the explanatory video! It gave me the “yup, I can do this” moment and helped me cast on!!! I love the clear pattern and love how people admiring my project think it’s so complex!!
