This captivating pattern uses a harmonious blend of 5 colors, creating a striking visual that is sure to turn heads. The alternating ripple sections consist of one ‘base’ neutral color paired with 4 vibrant hues, while each lace section showcases these same colors, adding depth and texture to your finished piece.

Whether you prefer a more delicate drape or a broader, bolder structure, **Joyful Waves** allows for endless creative possibilities. For optimal results, it is recommended to use solid or semisolid yarns, as variegated yarns may obscure the intricate lace pattern, diminishing the overall beauty of your shawl. **GAUGE:** 20 stitches x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4“) in stockinette stitch, blocked. **NEEDLES:** 3.75 mm / US 5 (4.0 mm / US 6 for bind off) are recommended, or choose a size that allows you to achieve the proper gauge. **YARN:** For this delightful shawl, we recommend using Malabrigo Arroyo: - 2 skeins in color A - 1 skein in each of the other 4 colors For my sample, I utilized 1.2 skeins of color A (366 m / 401 yds) and 0.8 skeins of each of the other 4 colors (244 m / 321 yds each).
