Another Great Sock Yarn Shawl Knitting Pattern

August 21, 2023 by Sarah White

I recently shared a whole collection of one-skein (or so) sock yarn shawl knitting patterns, but of course there are always more options available or being published all the time.

Here’s another great option for your fine and super fine yarns. The Aveya pattern by Tamy Gore uses a single skein of yarn and you can make it whatever size that skein’s yardage accommodates. The average skein of sock yarn is 400-420 yards, or you can use two skeins of a smaller yardage if you have them on hand.

This ethereal shawl is an asymmetrical triangle that has picots along one edge. It also features dropped stitches, one-color brioche and garter stitch. Lots of brioche patterns use two colors, so this is a great way to try brioche stitch without also having to deal with changing colors.

The sample of the shawl shown is worked in a solid color, but it’s worth scrolling through the finished projects on the Ravelry project page to see how this pattern looks worked in semi-solid, tonal, self-striping and even kind of wild colored yarn. (Spoiler alert: they all look great.)

People who’ve knit the project mentioned that it’s good for travel knitting because it’s easy to remember the pattern, it’s fast to knit and it doesn’t use a lot of yarn. Plus it’s fun to have a shawl you knit on vacation to remind you of the trip!

Speaking of travel knitting, check out my posts on how I plan travel knitting, assembling a travel knitting kit and what’s allowed on airplanes if you have any travel coming up.

I’m really trying to use my stash of patterns I’ve already bought instead of buying more, but I have to admit this pattern is really tempting. I even know what yarn I would use for it.

Check out the pattern on Ravelry.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
