Sheltie Shawl

Discover the beauty and simplicity of this stunning top-down graphic shawl, designed to elevate your knitting skills and enhance your collection. This project may appear intricate, but it utilizes an easy slip-stitch mosaic technique, allowing you to work with only one color at a time for each row. This makes it an ideal pattern for knitters looking to experiment with color without the stress of complex colorwork.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Enjoy a generous size with dimensions measuring 18’’ / 46 cm deep and a sweeping 52” / 132 cm wingspan, making it the perfect accessory to wrap yourself in warmth and style.

YARN: For this project, you'll need light worsted weight yarn in three captivating colors. Gather 285 yds / 261 m each in colors A & B and 80 yds / 73 m in color C. We recommend using Big Bad Wool Weepaca, a luxurious blend of 50% fine washable merino and 50% baby alpaca. Each skein has 95 yards / 86 m, and you will need 3 skeins each of colors metal man (A) and raw white (B), along with 1 skein of katie bug (C) for a fabulous finish.

NEEDLES: Get ready to knit with US 5 (3.75 mm) 32” (80 cm) or longer circular needles and US 7 (4.5 mm) 40” / 100 cm or longer circular needles. Remember to adjust your needle size accordingly to achieve the correct gauge for this stunning shawl.

Note: Adjust needle sizes as necessary to ensure your gauge matches the specifications.

GAUGE: Achieve a precise gauge of 24 stitches and 28 rows to equal 4’’ (10 cm) in the mosaic pattern after blocking. This will ensure that your completed shawl turns out just right.
