Why You’ll Love Emiliana

The Emiliana shawl by Lisa Hannes is a striking triangular wrap that combines bold color blocking with elegant mosaic knitting to create a truly eye-catching accessory. Designed with two contrasting colors, the pattern uses slipped stitches to produce intricate geometric motifs while working with only one color per row, making mosaic knitting surprisingly approachable.

Its graceful curved top edge, oversized shape, and reversible color transitions create a sophisticated shawl that is both enjoyable to knit and beautiful to wear. Whether you choose subtle neutrals or vibrant color combinations, Emiliana offers endless possibilities for personal expression.

Construction Details

Emiliana is worked sideways from one narrow tip to the other, gradually forming a large triangular shawl with an elegant curved upper edge.

The body alternates between generous color-block sections and striking mosaic stitch panels created with slipped stitches. Because only one color is worked per row, the mosaic motifs are much easier to knit than traditional stranded colorwork while producing an equally impressive visual effect.

One of the most distinctive design elements is the clever reversal of the color sequence within the mosaic sections, creating additional visual depth and interest throughout the shawl.

The pattern includes both fully written instructions and detailed charts, allowing knitters to follow whichever format they prefer.

Fit & Styling

Emiliana is designed as a generously sized wrap that provides both warmth and dramatic visual impact.

Its long curved shape drapes beautifully around the shoulders or can be wrapped comfortably around the neck as an oversized scarf. The bold mosaic motifs and contrasting color blocks make it equally suitable for casual outfits and elegant layering, while the lightweight fingering-weight yarn keeps the shawl comfortable across multiple seasons.
