Measurements: Enjoy the generous wingspan of 57” / 145cm and a delightful depth of 26” / 66cm for an elegant drape that complements any outfit.
Yarn Requirements: For this project, select a Light Fingering Weight yarn / 4 ply. You will need approximately 440 yards / 402 meters for the Main Color (MC) and around 140 yards / 128 meters for the Contrasting Color (CC). Our sample uses the luxurious NanoStitch Laboratory Scientific Sock yarn (75% Merino, 25% Nylon; 463 yards / 100g), featuring MC in Geode and CC in Orion Nebula, showcasing the perfect balance between color and texture.
Needles: A US 3 / 3.25mm 32-40” / 80-100cm circular needle is recommended to accommodate the increasing number of stitches, as this shawl is worked flat. Make sure to choose the needle size necessary to achieve your desired gauge for the best results.
Notions: Gather essential knitting tools, including 1 stitch marker, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle to ensure a smooth knitting experience.
Gauge: Achieve gauge with 20 stitches x 34 rows equating to 4” in garter stitch, blocked. While gauge is not crucial for this pattern, variations may impact your overall yardage and final measurements, so it’s a great idea to check before you start.
