Yarn: For this stunning shawl, we recommend using Malabrigo Yarn Rastita DK in the colorway No me Olvides as your main color (MC) and Jupiter as your contrasting color (CC). This yarn is 100% Merino Wool, providing both warmth and softness, with a yardage of 283 m/310 yds per 100 g. You will need one 100-gram skein in each colorway, totaling 566 m/620 yds for the entire project.
Dimensions: Once completed and blocked, the shawl measures a generous triangle size of 162 cm/64” across and 50 cm/20” high, making it the ideal wrap for any occasion. For this project, you will need a 4.5 mm/US 7 40”/100 cm circular needle for working flat and a 6.5 mm/US 10.5 needle specifically for the bind-off process.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 19 stitches and 28 rows per 10 cm/4” after blocking. This ensures that your shawl will drape beautifully and fit perfectly.
Extras: For your knitting toolkit, don’t forget to have a tapestry needle on hand for weaving in any loose ends, as well as a blocking mat and T-pins to help you shape and set your masterpiece once it’s finished. With this shawl pattern, you’ll create a timeless accessory that combines style and comfort, making it a must-have for your knitting repertoire. Get ready to cozy up in your new favorite shawl as the leaves turn and the air turns crisp!
