Durango Shawl

Finished Measurements: This stunning shawl measures 55” (137.5 cm) in length and 35” (87.5 cm) in width. All measurements are taken after the blocking process to ensure accuracy and a beautiful finish.

Yarn Requirements: For this elegant shawl, you will need fingering or sport weight yarn, with approximately 950 yards (870 m) required for the complete project. We recommend using The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering, composed of 90% Wool and 10% Mohair, which provides a luxurious feel and excellent drape. Each skein offers 328 yards (300 m) in 100 g, and you will need 3 skeins in the colorway Buttermere to achieve the perfect result.

Note: This shawl consumes nearly all 3 skeins. It is advisable to purchase an additional skein to accommodate any variations in your personal tension and working style.

Needles: To create this beautiful shawl, you will need a size US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle, preferably in a length of 24-32 inches (60-80 cm). While gauge is not critical for this project, please note that variations in gauge can significantly impact the final size and overall yardage needed.

Notions: Additionally, gather your stitch markers and tapestry needle, as these notions will aid in keeping track of your stitches and finishing your shawl seamlessly.

Gauge: The gauge for this pattern is 24 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in the Cable pattern, once blocked for an even appearance.

Notes: This intricate shawl is worked flat, starting from the lower left point and progressing to the top edge, with strategic increases along the right side edge to create a beautifully flowing design. The shawl is finished with a wide edge border, crafted in a delightful 2x2 ribbing that adds texture and visual interest.
