Mon Précieux

Introducing Mon Précieux, a stunning shawl designed to celebrate and test the exquisite new wool quality from Scheepjes Metropolis! This shawl is not only a joy to knit but also a delightful accessory to wear draped over your shoulders, making it the perfect piece for any occasion.

This elegant triangular shawl is worked from side to side, allowing for a seamless construction that creates beautiful draping. The unique design features an I-cord edge and an increasing technique on the right side, adding refinement and a polished finish. What sets this shawl apart is the clever use of colorwork; during Part II, you'll alternate between two vibrant colors without the hassle of cutting the yarn. You can effortlessly carry the yarn along the I-cord! The project is completed with a lovely picot bind-off, giving the shawl a sophisticated touch.

Mon Précieux is designed in one versatile size, making it a great choice for knitters of all levels. When finished, the shawl measures approximately 138 cm from edge to edge and 74 cm from center to bottom, creating an eye-catching piece for any wardrobe.

**Yarn Requirements:** For this project, we recommend using Scheepjes Metropolis yarn, which comprises 75% Extra Fine Merino and 25% Nylon. The yarn is incredibly soft and durable, making it a top choice for cozy accessories. You will need the following yarn quantities: - A - 4 balls of Metropolis 067 Buenos Aires (totaling 187 g / 748 m) - B - 1 ball of Metropolis 066 Copenhagen (totaling 26 g / 104 m)

**Needles:** For this project, you will need a pair of US size 2.5 (3.0 mm) circular needles, ideally 32’’/80 cm in length to accommodate the shawl’s width.

**Notions:** Make sure you have scissors, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a row counter to keep track of your progress!

**Gauge:** Achieve a gauge of 4’’/10 cm, which equals 20 stitches and 54 rows, to ensure your Mon Précieux shawl turns out just right.
