Kaleidoscope Shawl
Size: One size approximately 165 cm (65 inches) wide and 75 cm (30 inches) long at the center spine, making it a versatile piece for various occasions.
Yarn: This beautiful project requires 3 skeins of Cecily Grove Yarns Goya Merino, which is composed of 100% merino wool with a generous yardage of 400 meters (437 yards) per 100 grams. Alternatively, you may choose any fingering weight yarn that meets the correct gauge. The sample shown features vibrant colorways: Rust (CC1), Industrial (CC2), and Jungle (CC3), using 1 skein of each color for a stunning visual effect.
Needles: To create this lovely piece, you will need a 3.5mm (US size #4) circular needle that is 100 cm (40 inches) long. This length is ideal for accommodating the stitches comfortably as your project grows.
Other Materials: In addition to yarn and needles, you will also need 2 stitch markers to help keep track of your rows or pattern repeats, a tapestry needle for easy weaving in of ends, and blocking pins to ensure your finished project has a professional finish. These tools are essential for achieving the best results.
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is important for this pattern. You should aim for 25 stitches and 44 rows per 10 cm (4 inches) in garter stitch worked flat (after wet blocking). While the gauge isn't crucial for this project, any differences may influence the overall size and the amount of yarn required, so take the time to check your gauge before you begin.
This knitting pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a stylish and cozy piece. Enjoy working with soft merino wool and showcasing your creativity with various color combinations!
