I made this shawl from leftover yarn from the Dahlia Dress. Sultan gradient yarn in Rose Quartz—too pretty to waste, not quite enough for another full project.
The Grace Shawl is exactly what you make with that leftover gradient yarn.
Gradient yarn shines here
The open stitch pattern lets the color transitions show. No complicated texture competing with the ombre—just a simple mesh that displays the gradient beautifully as it fades from deep pink to soft white.If you have gradient or ombre yarn sitting in your stash, this is the pattern for it.
The first few rows are tricky
I'm not going to lie, starting this shawl takes focus. The first few rows require attention to get the stitch pattern established. It feels fiddly.
But don't give up. Once you're past row 5 or 6, it clicks. The pattern becomes rhythmic. You stop thinking about where each stitch goes and just work. It's meditative.
Light and packable
This isn't a heavy winter shawl. It's lightweight, drapey, perfect for layering without bulk. You can fold it into nothing and toss it in a bag. Transitional weather, air-conditioned rooms, travel, it works for all of it.
Works with any yarn
The sample uses Sultan (super fine weight cotton), but you can use any yarn weight or fiber. Just size up your hook for drape and adjust how many repeats you work. More repeats = larger shawl. Fewer repeats = smaller. The construction stays the same. Pattern and full video tutorial available now.
