Finished Size: This stunning shawl measures 16 inches wide by 60 inches long, making it an ideal accessory to wrap around your shoulders for warmth or style. Yarn Requirements: You will need two contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn. Each color should be 300-350 yards per skein, and you'll also need a mini skein in a "pop" color, totaling 90-100 yards. In essence, you'll require between 600-700 yards of three different colors to complete this shawl.

Needles and Notions: For this pattern, you will need a US #5 (3.75mm) circular needle, 24-32 inches in length. A cable needle or double-pointed needles (DPNs) will be necessary for executing one cable twist. You'll also need a US #6 needle (of any form) solely for the bind-off. Don’t forget to gather a tapestry needle, stitch markers, and an extra needle of the same size or a slightly smaller size, or you can use waste yarn to put some stitches on hold.

Gauge: The gauge for this pattern is 22 stitches by 32 rows over 4 inches in stockinette stitch. While achieving this gauge isn’t crucial for the overall charm of the shawl, remember that differing gauge will affect the final size and the amount of yarn you will use.

This extraordinary pattern not only makes a stunning addition to your wardrobe but is also a fantastic way to use your creativity with color and texture. Perfect for the intermediate knitter looking for a project to challenge their skills, this shawl is a delightful journey through the craft of knitting.
