Candy Crush

With an array of intricate stitch patterns woven throughout, this design ensures that your knitting journey is anything but monotonous. The vibrant colors, reminiscent of colorful sugar candies from childhood, make it a joyful project to undertake.

YARN: For this project, we recommend using La Bien Aimée’s “Merino Singles,” which features a luxurious blend that enhances both the texture and durability of your creation. You'll need approximately 400.0 yards (366.0 m) per 100g skein, so gather three skeins in the following colors: C1: Tangiopeia, C2: Direwolf, and C3: Waterlilies. This combination will yield a stunning shawl bursting with lively hues.
NEEDLES: You will need US6 / 4mm circular knitting needles (32 inches/80 cm or longer) along with double-pointed needles (DPNs) for specific sections of the pattern. Using the right needle size will ensure your stitches are uniform and the shawl drapes beautifully.
NOTIONS: Don’t forget your tapestry needle for weaving in ends and adding that polished finish to your lovely shawl. This essential tool will help you achieve a professional look and keep your work tidy.
GAUGE: Achieving the correct gauge is critical for your success. The pattern calls for a gauge of 20 stitches to equal 10cm in Brioche stitch (after wet blocking). Be sure to adjust your needle sizes as necessary to obtain the correct gauge, which will help your shawl maintain its intended form and drape.
SIZE: The Candy Crush Shawl is designed in one size, featuring a generous wingspan of approximately 160 cm (63 inches) and a center depth of 58 cm (23 inches). This versatile size makes it perfect for wearing as a wrap or shawl, allowing for various styling options to suit any occasion.
Get ready to embark on a whimsical knitting adventure with the Candy Crush Shawl! Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this vibrant and intricate shawl pattern will captivate your imagination and bring a touch of sweetness to your knitwear collection.
