Materials and Tools Needed for the Angelfish Shawl:
Yarn:
For your Angelfish Shawl, we recommend using Malabrigo Rios, a luxurious 100% merino wool yarn. Each skein offers 210 yards (192 meters) per 100 grams (3.5 ounces), and you will need 1 skein for the small size and 2 skeins for the large size. The small sample is demonstrated in the stunning Arco Iris colorway, while the large sample showcases the rich hues of Liquid Ambar.
Tools:
- 1 US 8 (5 mm) circular needle, approximately 32 to 50 inches (81 to 127 cm) long
- 14 stitch markers
- Tapestry needle
Techniques and Skills Required:
This intermediate-level pattern involves various techniques such as the garter tab cast-on, simple lacework, and the purl one below technique, making it a rewarding project for those looking to enhance their knitting skills.
Dimensions:
The finished dimensions for the Angelfish Shawl in the small size are 12 x 42 inches. The large size dimensions will be available soon, providing an option for those who prefer a more generous wrap.
Gauge:
To achieve the correct size, ensure your gauge is 14 stitches x 16 rows, which equals 4 inches in stocking stitch. Accurate gauge is essential for achieving the perfect drape and fit of your shawl.
