Aureola

Unleash your creativity with the Aureola Shawl, a stunning wearable crescent-shaped wrap that boasts a delightful drape. This exquisite shawl pattern features a unique combination of dropped stitches and the cozy texture of garter stitch, making it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels. Enjoy a relaxing knitting experience while playing with color; choose subtle hues for a soft, elegant look or opt for a bright and vibrant palette to create a statement piece.

**Yarn:** The Aureola Shawl calls for two colors of fingering weight yarn, allowing you to customize your piece to match your personal style. This pattern is showcased in the luxurious Hedgehog Fibres Skinny Singles, composed entirely of 100% Merino wool (366 m / 400 yds per 100 g). The recommended colors are Cinder as the main color (MC) and Crystal as the contrast color (CC), providing a beautiful and eye-catching combination.

**Yardage Requirements:** For this project, you'll need approximately 330 m / 360 yds of the main color (MC) and about 366 m / 400 yds of the contrast color (CC). This ensures you have enough yarn to complete your beautiful shawl.

**Needle Size:** To achieve the best results, use a 4 mm / US 6 circular needle or a size that gets you the correct pattern gauge. Although the shawl is knitted flat, we recommend using a 100 cm / 40 inch circular needle to comfortably accommodate the increasing number of stitches as you progress.

**Stitches Used:** This pattern employs a variety of fun and straightforward stitches, including knit, knit-front-back (kfb), and yarn over. These techniques create a textured look and are easy to master, perfect for both novice and experienced knitters.
