For this shawl, you'll need Heavy Lace weight or Fingering Weight yarn. The recommended yarn is 3 skeins of Fru ValBorg Merino Single, each approximately 400 yards/100g. You will need the following colors: Color A = Pond, Color B = Night Owl, and Color C = Fog. These thoughtfully selected hues will create a stunning visual effect as you knit.
**Materials Needed:**
- US Size 3 (3.25 mm) circular needles
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
**Finished Measurements:**
- Depth: 19 inches
- Wingspan: 100 inches
**Gauge:**
The recommended gauge is 22 stitches x 48 rows = 4 x 4 inches in garter stitch, after wet blocking. Please note that for this shawl, achieving an exact gauge is not incredibly important. If you’re using fingering or heavy lace weight yarn, I recommend trying US Size 3 or 4 needles. The choice depends on your personal preference regarding the final look and feel of your knitted shawl. You can also experiment with larger needles if you desire a lighter, airier fabric.
With this pattern, you'll not only create a beautiful shawl but also dive into the joy of knitting as you explore the interplay of color and texture. Happy knitting!
