Fiber & Fern Shawl Knitting Pattern

Designed by Brianna Kvalvik (@fiberandfern) • Skill Level: Intermediate

Wrap yourself in texture and movement with the Fiber & Fern Shawl. This triangular shawl is worked flat with gentle, every-other-row increases to showcase the beautiful variation of our Catalina Silk & Cashmere Hand-Tied Yarn (shifts between fingering and DK). Lace, bobbles, and stockinette sections create a drapey, nature-inspired piece you’ll wear year-round.

Why you’ll love it

  • Elegant texture play: alternating lace, bobbles, and stockinette sections.
  • Written for 2 skeins of Catalina Silk & Cashmere Hand-Tied Yarn.
  • Triangular shape with easy-to-track shaping markers.
  • Lightweight drape; perfect for layering through the seasons.

What’s included

  • Digital pattern (PDF) with full, row-by-row instructions.
  • Abbreviations + stitch counts and section callouts.
  • Linked technique tutorials (cast-on, bobbles, elastic bind-off, tassels).

Yarn & tools

Specs & Sizing

  • Gauge: 22 sts × 26 rows in stockinette = 4"/10.15 cm (will vary with yarn’s hand-tied sections).

Finishing & care

For Catalina’s multi-fiber composition, we recommend a light spray-block to set the stitches and preserve texture. Add optional tassels to each point after blocking.
