Mariefred

Introduction

Mariefred scarf shawl

Mariefred is a lovely little town on the lake Mälaren, in Sweden. It’s close to the place where I spend my summer holiday, and I often go there during my stay. Not only because of the beautiful old houses, the castle of Gripsholm and the view over the lake, but also because there is a fantastic yarn store there. It’s called Hamilton Design and is owned by the wonderfully talented (and very nice) knit designer Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton. The place is packed with beautiful yarns, and many of them can’t be found anywhere else in Scandinavia.

Mariefred, modeled by Annette Petavy During my latest visit to this store, a small, triangular scarf caught my eye. It was Cornelia's own design of course – knitted in garter stitch from side to side in two different yarns: one a fine mohair, the other a thicker variegated alpaca. Simple, yet beautiful. I bought the materials and thought I’d knit it. But before I had the time to get hold of my knitting needles, I started to think about how nice it would be to work these yarns in crochet instead. And why not develop the shaping a bit, creating something of a bat-wing shape so the scarf/small shawl would behave better and stay on my shoulders?

I ended up with the pattern below. I even hesitate to call it a pattern – it’s more of a method, or a basic recipe. You can use it with any yarns of your choice. The yarns specified are the ones I used, but that’s just a suggestion. You can easily make it bigger, for a full-sized shawl – but then you’ll need more yarn, of course.

Materials List

  • 1 ball Kid Mohair Classic (Adriafil), 80% kid mohair, 20% nylon, (230m/251yds per 25g/0,87oz ball)
  • 1 skein Atacama (Araucania), 100% alpaca, (100m/110yds per 50g/1,75oz ball)
  • 6.0mm (US J-10) hook
  • A slightly larger hook is useful when making the fringe

Finished Size

One size.

Gauge

Gauge is not important in this pattern.

Notes

The Pattern

This scarf is crocheted from side to side. The ”basic” stitch used is dc (but see description of wedges below). Turning chains do not count as a stitch.

shawlThis was a one-day project for designer Kika. (Hint. It can be a one-day project for you, too.) She couldn't find a pattern for a triangle shawl that she liked, so she took matters into her own hands. Don't you want to take this matter into your own hands, too? Hook on.

Materials List

  • Two balls of Luxury Mohair by King Cole (202m/220yds, total), colour Valencia.
  • A big fat plastic hook, size Q (16mm).
