SIZE: The finished Doce shawl measures approximately 40 cm wide by 127 cm long (15.7 x 50 inches), making it an ideal wrap for any occasion.

GAUGE: To ensure your shawl turns out perfectly, aim for a gauge of 19 stitches = 10 cm (4 inches) in Stockinette stitch, using 3.75 mm (US 5) needles, unblocked. Remember, adjusting the needle size can impact the finished look of your project: larger needles will create an airy effect, while smaller needles emphasize stitch definition. Always take the time to check your gauge, as it is a vital step for achieving the desired outcome. Note that the gauge is provided as a guideline to assist you in your knitting journey.
