Introducing our stunning shawl pattern, a perfect blend of texture and color that will elevate your knitting projects! This beautiful shawl is expertly crafted sideways, beginning at the cast-on tip and gracefully transitioning to the bind-off row. The pattern features easy increases at the start of every right-side row, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. To help you master intricate stitches, this pattern also includes a comprehensive photo tutorial for right twist (RT) and left twist (LT), ensuring your shawl has a professional finish.

SIZE: Width across top edge (wingspan): 64” / 162.5 cm; Depth: 28 ½” / 72 cm. This delightful shawl is perfect for draping over your shoulders or wrapping around you on a chilly evening.

YARN: For this shawl, we recommend using Isager Merilin (composed of 80% wool and 20% flax; 228 yards / 208 meters per 50 grams), calling for 3 skeins of the main color (MC), which we showcase in color 61, Rose. You will need 1 skein of each coordinating color (CC1), shown in color 0, White, and (CC2), shown in color 59, Mustard. If you prefer to use fingering weight yarn, you will need approximately 638 yards / 582 meters for the MC, 176 yards / 161 meters for CC1, and 156 yards / 142 meters for CC2. A helpful tip for selecting your colors: in the slip-stitch pattern, CC1 will stand out more prominently than CC2, adding a vibrant touch to your shawl.

NEEDLES AND NOTIONS: For this project, you will require size 4 US / 3.5 mm knitting needles, a row counter to keep track of your stitches, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

GAUGE: You should achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 40 rows in garter stitch after washing and blocking, which equals a measurement of 4” / 10 cm. While gauge is not crucial for this project, it can impact the amount of yarn required and the final dimensions of your beautiful shawl.

This shawl pattern not only provides a wonderful crafting experience but also results in a stunning accessory you'll love to wear or gift. With its unique design and appealing aesthetic, it’s a must-have for your knitting pattern collection!
