Skill Level: Easy
Recommended Yarn: For this project, we recommend Fybrespates Scrumptious 4ply Merino Silk, known for its luxurious feel and vibrant colors. I used the following shades: Colour 1: 335 Pearl, Colour 2: 316 Charcoal, and Colour 3: 320 Burnt Orange. If you decide to use a different yarn, please ensure it has a meterage of 400m per 200g, fitting within the 4ply/fingering category for optimal results.
Needle Size: 4mm Circular needles are preferred. Note that this shawl is knit flat, making it a manageable project for those who are still gaining confidence in their knitting capabilities.
Gauge: Aim for a gauge of 15 stitches and 20 rows in garter stitch using 4mm needles to ensure your shawl maintains the intended size and drape.
Yardage: This pattern requires approximately 300g, which is equivalent to 3 skeins of the recommended yarn. Make sure to stock up on your favorite shades!
Notions: You will need a darning needle for weaving in ends, a tape measure for checking your progress, and scissors for trimming any excess yarn. These essentials will help you complete your shawl with ease.
Sizes: This pattern comes in one universal size, perfect for wrapping around your shoulders or wearing as a stylish accessory.
Be sure to make use of 400m per 100g skeins of yarn to achieve the best results. Happy knitting!
