This full Pi shawl will be beautifully crafted from the center out, utilizing the ingenious umbilical cord/belly button cast on technique that adds a unique twist to the project. The event kicks off on June 4th, with tantalizing clues being released every Wednesday to keep you engaged and motivated throughout the process.

Essential Materials:

For the best results, please use yarns that are solid, tonal, or slow color-changing to create stunning visual effects in your shawl.

Yarn: You will need 2 of the SAME COLORWAY of Wolle’s Color Changing Cotton, with 100-gram skeins providing approximately 480 yards each. That’s right—make sure both skeins are of the same beautiful colorway! Alternatively, you can choose any fingering weight yarn that totals NO LESS than 960 yards. Stick to tonal or solid colors ONLY, or select any other slow color-changing yarn that suits your taste.

Needles: The main body of this exquisite shawl requires Size 7 circular needles for optimal comfort and control. Given the unique structure of a Pi shawl, you may also need either double-pointed needles (dpns) or two short Size 7 circular needles for the cast on. This ensures you have all the tools necessary for a smooth knitting experience as you create your breathtaking shawl.
