Size: One size fits all

Measurements: This stunning shawl features a generous wingspan of 94 inches (239 cm) and a depth of 21 inches (53 cm), providing ample coverage and versatility for various styling options.

Yarn: For this project, we recommend using The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Foxy Lady yarn, which consists of 70% superwash merino and 30% silk. It offers a luxurious feel and depth of color. Each skein features 428 yards (391 m) in a 100g package. You will need 1 skein each of two beautiful colors: Eagle Eye (C1) and Spring Fever (C2). Alternatively, you can choose any fingering weight yarn, ensuring a unique touch to your finished shawl.

Needles: Use US size 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles in a length of 32-40 inches (80-100 cm) to comfortably accommodate the large number of stitches required for this shawl.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 32 rows equal to 4 inches (10 cm) in the Diamond Brocade pattern, when blocked. While gauge is not critical for this project, variances may affect the overall measurements and yarn quantities, so be sure to check your gauge as you work.

Notions: A tapestry needle will be needed for weaving in ends and completing your shawl beautifully.

Notes: The unique construction of this shawl begins at one tip and elegantly progresses to the long edge. Each row commences and concludes with a two-stitch garter border, ensuring a neat finish. Right-side rows feature a yarn-over increase at the beginning, while wrong-side rows implement a decrease at the start and wrap up with a yarn-over increase. This clever shaping creates a stunning asymmetrical triangle that is both eye-catching and fun to wear.
