Approximate Finished Measurements: Upon blocking, this beautiful shawl measures approximately 66” wingspan x 28 ½” down the center spine, making it the ideal accessory for any season.
Materials Needed: For this vibrant shawl, you will require 473 yards (433 meters) of heavy worsted weight yarn. We recommend using Noro Silk Garden, which boasts a remarkable blend of fibers: 45% Mohair, 45% Silk, and 10% Wool. To complete this project, you will need 5 balls of yarn (110 yards per 50g ball) in Color: 449.
Additionally, you will need a US Size 9 (5.5mm) 32” circular knitting needle for comfortable handling of the stitches, along with 2 stitch markers to help you keep track of your progress.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 12 stitches and 20 rows = 4” in stockinette stitch on US Size 9 (5.5mm) knitting needle after blocking for the best results in your shawl.
Designer Note About Construction: This elegant shawl is worked from the top down, starting with a tab, where you’ll pick up a few stitches to seamlessly transition into the body of the shawl. This method not only adds to the beauty of the design but also makes for an engaging knitting experience.
This is an ideal pattern as you can easily pause your project at any time or even stop when you run out of yarn. If you wish to create a larger size shawl, simply purchase additional yarn to meet your needs. Enjoy the process of crafting this lovely shawl and wear your creation with pride!
