SKILLS REQUIRED: To successfully create this shawl, you'll need to be comfortable with basic knitting skills such as knit and purl stitches. Additionally, you'll apply various increasing techniques (including yarn overs, knitting into the front and back, purling into the front and back, and Make One Right and Make One Left), as well as decreasing techniques (Slip Slip Knit and Knit two together). You'll also need to master the purl through the back loop and the Garter Tab cast-on method.

YARN: The shawl is designed using SnailYarn Merino Sport, which comprises 100% Merino Superwash blended for softness and durability. You'll need 2 skeins of sport weight in color A, which is showcased in Alpine Lake (a stunning shade of blue), and 1 skein in color B, presented in Warm Jean (a lovely light blue). For my sample shawl, I utilized 1.3 skeins of color A (390 m / 427 yds) and 0.4 skeins of color B (120 m / 131 yds), allowing for a generous and luxurious finish.
