Rorqual
During the warm summer months, humpback whales are known to roll onto their backs, displaying their elegant white flippers, while arching their throats towards the bright sky. This stunning sunning behavior brings to life the pleats of their throats, glistening with saltwater like exotic fans unfurling in the sunlight. Our Rorqual shawl captures this mesmerizing spectacle, paying tribute to the unique and flexible anatomy of the magnificent baleen whale.
**Construction:** This beautiful Rorqual shawl is constructed from the top right tip and elegantly works down to the bottom left side, featuring a lovely I-cord top edge for a polished finish. After you've created the main body of the shawl, a garter border is seamlessly knit onto the live body stitches as well as the picked-up edge stitches. This design is incredibly versatile and can be easily resized by simply adjusting the number of rows worked in the body, allowing knitters of all skill levels to personalize their creation.
Yardage details:
- Approximately 350-385 yards of your chosen main color
- Approximately 200-220 yards of a contrasting color to elevate your design
