Evermore is a top down shawl that is a little deeper than a regular crescent shaped shawl. Worked in two complimentary coloured yarns, one a fingering weight and one a kidsilk mohair, it comprises a striped body that shows off both yarns individually and displays their differences beautifully. These stripes lead to a beaded lace section that displays how one yarn can work and shine alone. The lace section seamlessly becomes a simple garter stitch edging that has both yarns knitted together. Worked in Louisa Haring Pittura and Rowan Kid Silk Haze, this pattern is suitable for almost any fingering weight yarn and any kid silk mohair, working wonderfully with one variegated but tonal yarn and the other yarn a solid colour so that they work both singularly and together.
HELPFUL HINT: This is an excellent way to use hand-dyed yarn where two skeins are not a good match – the kidsilk will mask the difference between the skeins so the start of Chart Three will be a good place to change to the new skein.
