Secrets

**Yarn:** For this stunning shawl pattern, we recommend using Drops Nepal yarn, composed of 65% wool and 35% alpaca. Each ball weighs 50 grams and offers 75 meters of rich, textured fabric. You will need a total of 300 grams, which is equivalent to 6 balls of yarn.

**Needles:** To bring your project to life, use a US 8 (5 mm) circular needle. Circular needles are ideal for knitting shawls, as they allow for easier management of large stitches and provide a comfortable grip.

**Other Supplies:** In addition to your yarn and needles, don't forget to gather a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and a row counter (optional) to help keep track of your progress as you knit.

**Gauge:** Achieving the right gauge is important, although it’s not crucial for this project. Aim for 14 stitches and 26 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch after blocking. Keep in mind that variations in your gauge may result in a smaller or larger shawl, and can also influence the overall yardage required for your project.

**Measurements:** Once completed, your shawl will showcase an impressive width of approximately 86 inches (215 cm) measured from side to side. The depth of the shawl will reach around 15 inches (28 cm) at its deepest point, providing a beautiful draping effect that is sure to impress.
