Yarn Requirements
For the multi-color DK version, you’ll need approximately 300 yards (275 meters) of main color (MC) DK weight yarn, along with around 222 yards (203 meters) of coordinating color (CC). These amounts are the total needed for the entire shawl; specific amounts for each stripe can be found in the Notes section. We recommend using The Lamb & Kid Tod yarn, made up of 65% Yak and 35% Cashmere, which has a generous provision of 150 yards per 50-gram skein. In our sample, we utilized 2 skeins in colorway "Betty" (MC) and 1 skein each of the complementary colorways: "Crow" (CC1), "Lamb" (CC2), "Beetle" (CC3), and "Astro" (CC4).

Gauge Specifications
Achieve a gauge of 14 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch after blocking, ensuring your shawl has the perfect drape and texture.

Essential Tools
To create your Scoria Shawl, you will need size 8 (5.0 mm) 40-inch (100 cm) circular needles, or a size that enables you to meet the gauge. Don’t forget to have a stitch marker and a tapestry needle on hand for easy assembly and finishing touches.

Finished Measurements
Once completed, your Scoria Shawl will measure approximately 62 inches (158 cm) in length and 24 inches (61 cm) in height at its deepest point, making it a standout piece that adds warmth and flair to any outfit.

Whether you're looking to treat yourself to a cozy accessory or create a thoughtful handmade gift, the Scoria Shawl is the perfect project for knitters who love to combine creativity with comfort. Dive into this enjoyable knitting experience today!
