One Size (Note: The size is easy to alter to suit your personal preferences!)
Finished Measurements: Height (from cast on to last row along the edging): 64" / 162.5 cm Top Edge: 16" / 40.5 cm. Perfect for draping over your shoulders or wearing as a chic wrap!
Yarn: For the Tafoni Shawl, we recommend using Dragonfly Fibers Dharma, a luxurious blend of 50% yak and 50% mulberry silk (480 yds / 439 m per 4 oz / 113 g). You will need just 1 skein of Dragonberry. As demonstrated in our sample, the shawl utilized approximately 442 yds / 404 m of yarn.
Needles: To achieve the perfect gauge, use US 2.5 / 3 mm needles. Additionally, you will need US 5 / 3.75 mm needles for the final bind-off, ensuring a smooth and professional finish.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 22 sts and 36 rows over 4" / 10 cm in the Textured Repeat. Keep in mind that gauge is crucial; any alterations in your knitting tension may affect yarn requirements and the finished dimensions of your shawl.
Notions: Don’t forget to gather your required tools: a yarn needle, a cable needle, and 2 stitch markers to keep your work organized and efficient.
Skills Required: This pattern incorporates essential knitting skills, including lace knitting, cabling, and working twisted stitches on the wrong side (for double yarnovers). Whether you're mastering these techniques or expanding your knitting repertoire, the Tafoni Shawl offers an exciting challenge.
