I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! I was so happy that my Royal Shawl from We Are Knitters was finally finished and blocked in time to wear on our blustery Mother’s Day. I swear spring is still taking it’s sweet time to arrive here in Michigan, but at least we can wear our cozy knits a bit longer!
I’ve been working on the Royal Shawl kit since… last fall? It got set aside when packing for our move and forgotten about for a bit.
It is such a fun, relaxing, “potato chippy” knit. If you’re looking for something to knitflix to, this definitely fits the bill!
The only modification I made was to the bind off to ensure it would stretch enough. I knit two stitches together through the back loop, then transferred the stitch on the right needle back to the left. And just kept repeating until all stitches were bound off.
This sucker is huge! Due to the already generous size before blocking, I chose to steam block it gently to keep it from growing much larger. I think that worked out well!
It’s such a cozy, versatile piece that I’m sure I’ll be wearing for years to come.
