Casbah

Welcome to the Casbah knitting pattern, inspired by the stunning elegance of Moroccan architecture and the exquisite Merrakesh yarn from wooliebullie, available at http://www.wooliebullie.etsy.com. This lightweight yarn, composed of 80% Superwash Merino, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Nylon, is not only super soft against the skin but also provides a warm embrace, making it the perfect choice for crafting this beautiful shawl. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, you'll find that the repeat in the main body is straightforward and easy to memorize, ensuring that the project is less complex than it appears at first glance. The edging section of the shawl moves quickly, allowing you to enjoy the creative process without feeling overwhelmed.

The Casbah pattern includes detailed instructions for creating three versatile options: a scarf, a shawlette, and a full shawl. After aggressive blocking, the finished measurements are as follows:

• Scarf: 19.5 inches down the center back and 39 inches across the top.
• Shawlette: 23 inches down the center back and 46 inches across the top.
• Shawl: 30 inches down the center back and 60 inches across the top. The size of the larger shawl is flexible and can be customized according to your personal preference.

For your convenience, the approximate yarn requirements for each project option are as follows:

• Scarf: Approximately 300 yards (1 skein with some leftover).
• Shawlette: 1 skein (around 435 yards).
• Shawl: 2 skeins of Merrakesh yarn to achieve a beautiful and ample finish.
