This comprehensive pattern includes a clear list of abbreviations, a helpful diagram, and detailed written instructions to guide you through the knitting process. You don't have to worry about getting lost in the steps—everything is laid out for you!

The pattern is designed using two stunning colours of Malabrigo Mechita yarn. It is showcased here in the rich shade of Eggplant (MC) paired with the soft hue of Sandbank (CC). For this project, you will need one whole skein (385 m) of Eggplant, along with approximately 138 m of Sandbank to complete the contrasting stripes beautifully.

Upon blocking, your finished shawl will measure approximately 46 cm deep at the middle point and an impressive 236 cm long across the top edge, making it a perfect accessory for layering.

To tackle this project, you'll need to be familiar with essential skills such as increasing, changing colours, and blocking your finished work. The stitches used in this pattern are knit (k), knit front and back (kfb), make one left (M1L), and make one right (M1R). This combination of techniques makes the shawl a rewarding and delightful knitting experience.
