**MATERIALS NEEDED:** To knit this shawl, you will require 24” (60 cm) circular or straight needles in US size 3 (3.25 mm) for the main stitching. A smaller needle size, US 2 (2.75 mm), is recommended for the bind-off to maintain elasticity and prevent flaring. Additionally, you will need a stitch marker and a tapestry needle to facilitate your work.
**GAUGE TIPS:** The gauge for this pattern will vary depending on the stitch technique used. In the half brioche pattern, the gauge is 21 stitches x 48 rows, blocked to measure 4” x 4” (10 cm). When working in the lace pattern, the gauge is 21 stitches x 32 rows, also blocked to equal 4” x 4” (10 cm). While achieving this gauge is not crucial, it is worth noting that it can influence the final dimensions and the amount of yarn needed.
**FINISHED DIMENSIONS:** Upon completion, the shawl measures approximately 82.7” (210 cm) in wingspan along the top edge, with a width of 28.7” (73 cm). This generous size makes it a versatile accessory, perfect for any occasion.
**ADJUSTMENTS & CUSTOMIZATION:** The pattern includes helpful adjustments for those who may be short on yarn, allowing you to make the most of your materials. Furthermore, different sizes and fits can be easily achieved by altering the yarn weight and/or needle sizes, enabling you to customize this shawl to match your personal style preferences.
