Yarn: 540 yards (494 m) of lace-weight yarn is recommended for this shawl, ensuring that you have enough material to showcase your creativity.
Needles: You will need US size #1 (2.25 mm) circular needles that are 29" or longer, or a size suitable for obtaining gauge. Additionally, an extra needle of similar size will be necessary for executing the three-needle bind-off.
Gauge: The gauge for this project is 28 stitches x 48 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch, unblocked. While achieving an exact gauge can be helpful, it is not crucial for this particular project, allowing for some creative freedom as you knit.
Notions: Don’t forget to gather 3 stitch markers (m), which should include at least 1 removable marker for added convenience during your knitting process. A tapestry needle will also be essential for finishing touches.
