Finished Measurements: Enjoy a stunning finished wingspan of 60” x 20” (152.5 cm x 51 cm) at the centre after wet blocking, perfect for draping around your shoulders or adding a stylish layer to any outfit.
Yarn Requirements: This captivating project requires a total of 600 yards (549 meters) of fingering weight yarn to achieve the designated gauge. The yarn should be divided into two colors: Main Color (MC) - 400 yards (366 meters) and Contrast Color (CC) - 200 yards (183 meters). Our sample was beautifully knit using Solo by Artfil, featuring MC in the rich hue of Artichoke and CC in the earthy tones of Camouflage.
Recommended Needle Size: For this project, we suggest using a US size 5 (3.75 mm) long circular needle, allowing you to comfortably hold a large number of stitches as you craft this intricate design.
