Finished Size:
This beautiful shawl measures 94 inches wide and 27 inches from the top to the tip of the triangle, making it an ideal size to provide warmth without overwhelming your outfit.
Yarn:
For this pattern, we recommend using The Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering yarn, which is a luxurious blend of 75% merino wool, 20% cashmere, and 5% nylon. You'll need 2 skeins of the main color (MC) in Bohemian Blue, along with 1 skein each of two contrasting colors (CC1) in Wintry Mix and (CC2) Whatta Punk. Please note that yardage requirements are approximate and may vary based on your individual gauge.
Needles:
To create this stunning shawl, you'll need a size US 6 (4.0 mm) 29-inch circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches. Additionally, a US 6 (4.0 mm/G) crochet hook will be necessary for adding the lovely border. Be sure to adjust your needle size as needed to achieve the correct gauge.
Notions:
Don't forget to have a tapestry needle on hand for finishing touches and weaving in ends!
Gauge:
Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 20 stitches and 48 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch, unblocked. Once blocked, the gauge will be 20 stitches and 36 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch relaxed.
