For this shawl, you will need fingering weight yarn in four harmonious colors. The yarn requirements include about 380 meters (420 yards) each in color A and color D, along with approximately 80 meters (87 yards) each in color B and color C. The sample shawl was expertly crafted using the luxurious Meme Yarns Single Merino—featuring 2 skeins in colors 58 Vibrant and 60 Beetle, complemented by 2 mini skeins in colors 20 Cornflower and 27 Vibrant Green. This yarn choice provides a beautiful drape and exquisite softness, perfect for showcasing the unique design of the shawl.
Recommended needle sizes for this project are 4.0 mm (US #6) circular needles. To achieve the best results, ensure you check your gauge, which is 17 stitches by 44 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) in garter stitch, measured after blocking. While achieving the correct gauge isn't crucial for this project, variations can influence the finished size and the amount of yarn required, so be mindful during your knitting journey.
