2027 Class – Dreambird Shawl

Dreambird Shawl with Rebecca Bowen

---

Dreambird shawl is designed by Nadita and is visually stunning.

It is worked mostly in garter stitch. The feathers are shaped using short rows, but there are no wraps to deal with. The knitting is not difficult, but it is very important to pay attention to your knitting! The first two or three feathers will probably not be TV knitting.

Almost any weight yarn can be used. I used lace-weight yarn and my feathers are about 17” long. Heavier yarn will give you a larger shawl/scarf. Look at the projects on Ravelry for inspiration. The most important thing to remember when choosing your yarns is high contrast for the colors. This is not a project for a subtle color scheme. You want those feathers to really stand out.

Because I am not the designer of this shawl, every student must purchase their own copy of the pattern from Ravelry. Please respect the designer’s copyright.

Notes about preparing for this class – Refer to your purchased pattern for yarn amounts and needle requirements. Please work a garter stitch swatch before class to select your needle size. Remember that you want your fabric to have drape. If you are unsure about your needle size, bring three or four different sizes to class. We will work most of one feather in the class.
