The shawl showcases segments of garter stitch in the main color, beautifully complemented by lace sections in a contrasting color. A standout feature of this design is the i-cord edges, which are knit simultaneously with the shawl itself, ensuring a clean finish and minimizing the number of yarn ends to weave in at the end of your project.
Size: One size – large. Measuring 65 x 15.75’’ / 160 x 40 cm, this shawl is perfect for stylish layering.
Yarn: For this stunning shawl, we recommend Kettle Yarn Co. Baskerville 2.0 (consisting of BFL/Gotland, 350 m / 100 g), or opt for another high-quality fingering weight yarn of your choice. This pattern is showcased in sophisticated Grey (MC) and rich Madder (CC).
You will need 2 skeins of the main color (MC) and 1 skein of the contrast color (CC) to complete your shawl.
Yardage: The pattern requires a total of 710 yards / 650 meters of the main color (MC) and 215 yards / 195 meters of the contrast color (CC).
Needles: To achieve the best results, use US 4 (3.5 mm) - 32’’/80 cm long circular needles. Be sure to adjust the needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge, ensuring a proper fit for your shawl.
Gauge: For this pattern, aim for a gauge of 16 stitches x 36 rows, which measures 4x4’’ / 10x10 cm in garter stitch when worked flat (after blocking).
Other Supplies: You will also need 2 stitch markers, 1 removable stitch marker or small holder, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
