Finished Size: This stunning shawl measures approximately 72 inches wide across the top and 29 inches deep at the center spine, making it a generously sized accessory that provides warmth and style.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using The Plucky Knitter's Plucky Bello yarn (55% merino, 45% cashmere; 380 yards / 105 grams) in the colorway Pollen for the main color (MC), requiring only 1 skein. For the contrasting color (CC), you'll need 1 skein of The Plucky Knitter's Primo Fingering (75% merino, 20% cashmere, 5% nylon; 385 yards / 100 grams) in the delightful shade High Cotton. The combination of these luxurious fibers creates a soft, elegant fabric that drapes beautifully.
Needles: You'll need a size 4 (3.5mm) circular needle, 29 inches (or longer), to accommodate the large number of stitches, even though this shawl is worked flat. An optional size 6 (4.0mm) needle can be used for the bind-off. Always adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge for the best results.
Notions: Don't forget to gather essential tools, including stitch markers to keep your place, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and blocking wires to help shape your shawl perfectly after completion.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 36 rows per 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch. While gauge is not critical for this particular project, please be aware that any deviation from the specified gauge may affect the finished size and appearance of your shawl.
