Why we love it!

This whimsical garter and cabled lace asymmetrical shawl features a panel of lace on the right side of a center decrease line. Made using our Sparkle Lace Weight Silk Yarn, this shawl shimmers and shines in the sun. Each Kit contains 2 skeins of yarn and a pattern.

Product Specs

Designed By: Amy Torres 
Craft: Knit   
Category: Clothing - Shawl
Yarn:  2 Skeins of Sparkle Lace Weight Silk Yarn
(Pictured in Tidal Pool)
Needle Size: US 4 (3.5 mm) 24 in (60 cm) or longer circular needle, or needle to obtain gauge

Project Note: The shawl is cast on from a small point of 7 stitches, knit up to 118 stitches, and worked even before a quick decrease to the end. It is designed to have a 55 inch (140 cm) wingspan, but this can be adjusted to preference by continuing Section 3 where yardage allows. The lace panel to the right of the center slipped stitch is a charted (only) cabled lace with a 24 row repeat over 39 stitches.

Beautiful yarn, but came one is blue and the other more pink/purple. Not sure how it will turn out when combined in this project. (Also, I think there might be a typo for row 4? Seems like there should be a kfb after your initial sl1; otherwise you are not increasing evenly on both sides of your middle stitch.)

Appreciate the feedback

Mermaid shawl

a well thought out kit. I am using the yarn for another project a virus shawl. One warning the colours are not colourfast at time of purchase. Wash any project in salted water before wearing or gifting.

Hi Cynthia! Thank you so much for your kind words and we hope that you support us and our artisans again soon! :) Lynette

Beautiful! Found a pattern error though...

I wanted to alert others of the fact that the pattern I received with this kit had an error. I contacted Darn Good Yarn but haven't received a response yet. I understand this may be an oversight, as I sent them the message on their Contact Us form, and a previous email about another matter I'd sent was answered the next day. Anyway, the error I detected had me stumped for a while. While my intuition told me what made sense to do, I persisted with the pattern as written until I'd ripped my work out repeatedly. So, Section 1: Shawl setup, Row 4 of both the digital and paper versions of the pattern I received read, "Sl1, K to CSS, sl 1 wyif, k to last 2 sts, kf+bl, k1." It ought to read: Sl1, kfb, k to CSS, sl1 wyif, k to last 2 sts, kfb, k1. That's the only way I was able to achieve the stated end result of 79 stiches, with 39 stitches to the right and left of the center slipped stitch.With that rectified, I have found this pattern to be absolutely lovely to work. I got the kit with the Tidal Pool colorway that's featured in the picture. It's beautiful, and the pattern truly brings out the gorgeousness of the yarn; both its weight and hand painted characteristics. I just want to give props to both the pattern and yarn designers. Thank you for a truly enjoyable experience. The pattern is very aptly named. Please just clarify the pattern instructions.

Hello Asha!Thank you for your feedback. We have not receive your message regarding this concern and I am glad that you wrote us this feedback.Anyway, here's the errata for that row and that shawl! https://www.darngoodyarn.com/blogs/pattern-errata/joyous-mermaid-shawlLet us know if you have any questions!:heartpulse:-Claudia

I bought the kit. I love the color of the yarn with a hint of sparkle running throughout. The texture of the yarn is soft.

Joyous Mermaid shawl kit

The kit was not available but I did get the pattern. I haven't made it too far in it yet (knitting is not my strength lol) but I love the concept of these kits. You get the pattern and all the yarn you need to do it in one
