MATERIALS: The Shinkai Shawl pattern is flexible, allowing you to use any yarn weight and materials you prefer. To effectively use your chosen yarn, it’s important to adjust the yardage accordingly. We recommend weighing each yarn skein and calculating the approximate yardage to ensure an efficient use of materials throughout the project.

Needle Size: For this project, we suggest using US size 2.5 (3.00 mm) 32” circular needles, or any size necessary to obtain your desired gauge. Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 18 stitches and 20 rows = 10 cm / 4” in garter stitch (blocked), 20 stitches and 20 rows = 10 cm / 4” in mesh lace stitch (blocked), 20 stitches and 24 rows = 10 cm / 4” in moss stitch (blocked), and 18 stitches and 24 rows = 10 cm / 4” in edge lace stitch (blocked). It’s important to note that while gauge is not strict, it can significantly influence the finished size of your shawl and the yardage required for its completion.
