This delightful design features classic stripes and a fun, half-circle shape that makes it an ideal accessory for any season. With an easy-to-memorize pattern repeat, knitters of all skill levels will enjoy creating this beautiful piece.
Finished Measurements
Your finished shawl will measure 21” (53.5cm) in height at the center back and will stretch 51” (130cm) across the top edge once blocked, making it the perfect size for draping over your shoulders or styling as a wrap.
Gauge
To achieve the desired dimensions and drape, ensure your gauge is 17 stitches and 32 rows per 4” (10cm) in garter stitch after blocking. Gauge is important for ensuring your shawl maintains its beautiful shape!
Needles
For this project, you will need a US 5 (3.75mm) circular needle, preferably 24” in length, to accommodate the stitches while allowing for ease of movement as you work through the pattern.
Yarn
For the Garter Stitch Shawl, we recommend using Madelinetosh Tosh DK (100% superwash merino wool). You will need 2 skeins of Color A (used approximately 1.75 skeins = 360.0 meters/393.8 yards) and 1 skein of Color B (used 1 skein = 205.7 meters/225.0 yards). Our suggested colorways "chicory" and "whiskey barrel" beautifully contrast to create an eye-catching design.
