Iko

Discover the IKO shawl, a beautifully asymmetrical knitting design that showcases the simplicity of garter stitch. This pattern is perfect for those who enjoy "mindless" knitting, yet it remains engaging and exciting to work on – you'll see the charm of this project unfold with every stitch!

Gauge: 20 stitches x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4”) in Garter Stitch. While gauge is not crucial for the success of this project, it will influence the yardage required and ultimately affect the dimensions of your finished shawl.

Yarn Requirements: You will need a total of 790 yards (730 meters) of Wollmeise Pure or a similar yarn if you wish to maintain the specified gauge. The breakdown is as follows: Color A - 540 yards (495 meters) and Color B - 250 yards (235 meters).

Important Note: The yardage provided is based on using Wollmeise Pure yarn and the standard pattern dimensions. If you decide to cast on a different number of stitches (please refer to the table in the pattern) or opt for an alternative yarn, your required yardage may change accordingly.

Sample Calculation: If you achieve a gauge of 20 stitches per 4" / 10 cm and cast on 350 stitches, your finished shawl will measure approximately 175 cm on its longest side, requiring the full 790 yards (730 meters) of Wollmeise Pure for completion.

The IKO shawl is not just a project, but also a delightful journey through knitting that is bound to become a cherished addition to your wardrobe. Whether you are gifting it or keeping it for yourself, this stunning shawl will showcase your knitting skills beautifully!
