Size: Depth: 24cm / 9 inches at the center, tapering to 15cm / 6 inches at the edges. Wingspan: 210cm / 82 inches along the top edge when measured in stocking stitch, allowing for a generous wrap around your shoulders or neck.
Yarn: For this beautiful shawl, we recommend Banshee Yarns Tibetan Silk DK, featuring 212m/100g, with 2 skeins required. This pattern is shown in the lovely Taisca colourway. If you wish to substitute, be sure to use other double knitting weight yarns, and remember to swatch for the best fit!
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 14 stitches and 40 rows to 10cm / 4 inches over stocking stitch, or 18 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm / 4 inches over the lace pattern. Measurements are taken after a thorough and aggressive vertical wet blocking, which is essential to highlight the beautiful lace details.
Needles & Notions: Use a 4mm circular needle that is 120cm long for optimal comfort and reach while working on this project. In addition, gather your essential supplies including scissors, 38 stitch markers, and a darning needle for weaving in ends.
Construction Notes & Techniques: This gorgeous shawl begins with a cast-on along the long edge, followed by a section of delicate lace knitting. Comprehensive chart and written instructions are included to guide you through the lace pattern. The shawl is then expertly shaped using wrap and turn short rows, resulting in a stunning crescent shape that drapes beautifully.
