Dunia

Introducing the Dunia shawl, a wonderfully relaxing knitting project that is perfect for knitters of all levels. This design features an easy, plain garter stitch body, making it an ideal choice for TV knitting or cozy evenings at home. The real highlight of this shawl is the stunning lace edge at the end, which can be crafted in a contrasting color for an eye-catching finish. The versatile construction of the Dunia shawl allows you to play with colors and experiment with your yarn stash, making it a fantastic stash-buster project! Feel free to choose one, two, or even more colors—let your creativity shine!

With finished measurements of approximately 160 cm (63 inches) wingspan and 70 cm (27½ inches) center depth, the Dunia shawl is designed to be both stylish and functional. For this project, you will need fingering weight yarn in two colors: the Main Color (MC) requires about 420 m (460 yards), while the Contrasting Color (CC) needs around 210 m (230 yards). Our sample shawl was crafted using a beautiful hand-dyed merino superwash yarn, weighing in at 420 m (100g).

When it comes to gauge, aim for 21 stitches by 48 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) in Garter Stitch, as measured after blocking. Though gauge is not crucial for this project, keep in mind that it can affect your yardage and final size if deviated from. To ensure your knitting experience is smooth and enjoyable, we recommend using 4.0 mm (US #6) circular needles, along with stitch markers and a tapestry needle to complete your project with ease.

Overall, the Dunia shawl is not just a beautiful accessory but also a delightful and engaging knitting experience. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a gift, this pattern is sure to impress. So grab your needles, choose your favorite colors, and start your journey to creating this stunning shawl today!
