This versatile shawl is not only perfect for keeping warm but also serves beautifully for prayer or as a fashion statement. Crafted with love, the Espresso Shawl is certain to please knitters and wearers alike.

Designed for effortless, mindless knitting, this shawl features a combination of garter stitch and charming eyelets. With its straightforward pattern, you can easily adjust the size to your liking by adding or removing pattern repeats, allowing for customization and creativity.

**Size**: The finished Espresso Shawl measures a generous 68”/172.5cm wide and 30”/76cm long, providing plenty of coverage and warmth.

**Yarn**: For this pattern, you will need 4 skeins of Plymouth Yarn Company's “Coffee Beenz” (214 yard/196m per skein, 3.5 oz/100g), made from a blend of 25% wool and 75% acrylic. The color used in the sample is 9003 Bark. Alternatively, feel free to select 800 yards/732m of your favorite worsted-aran weight yarn that meets the gauge requirements.

**Needles**: Use a US 10 (6mm) circular needle, 32-40”/80-100cm long, or any size necessary to achieve a close gauge. Don’t forget to have a stitch marker handy!

**Gauge**: Achieve a gauge of 15.5 stitches and 28 rows equating to 4”/10cm in garter stitch once blocked. Note that the gauge isn’t strictly critical, allowing for some flexibility in your knitting.
