There’s no need for complex intarsia techniques or picking up stitches; just embrace the enchanting effects of short rows. The Rooftop Shawl is also designed to be nearly symmetrical, providing you with various stylish options for draping and wearing it.

YARN: The sample shawl is beautifully knitted using Madelinetosh Twist Light (420 yards / 384 meters per 100 grams, 75% merino wool, 25% nylon) and Hedgehog Fibres Sock Yarn (437 yards / 400 meters per 100 grams, 90% superwash merino, 10% nylon). If you're looking to substitute yarn, you’ll need approximately 460 yards (421 meters) for the Main Color (MC), 100 yards (91 meters) for Color Contrast 1 (CC1), and 110 yards (101 meters) for Color Contrast 2 (CC2) to complete this shawl.

NEEDLES: For this project, you’ll need a size US 4 / 3.5 mm circular needle to achieve the desired drape and fit of the shawl.

NOTIONS: To help you along the way, gather a few essential notions: 1 stitch marker, a row counter, and a tapestry needle to weave in those pesky yarn ends.

GAUGE: The gauge for the Rooftop Shawl is 21 stitches and 48 rows in Garter stitch, which measures 4 inches / 10 cm. While achieving this gauge is not crucial for the overall success of the project, it will influence yarn consumption as well as the final size of your exquisite shawl.

This pattern is perfect for knitters of various skill levels and offers endless opportunities for creativity with color combinations.
