SizeOne: approximately 152.5 cm/60” wide and 56 cm/22” long at the center spine, making it a versatile accessory for any outfit.
YarnRequired: You will need two colors of yarn, with 1 skein of each. We recommend Knit by Numbers 4ply from John Arbon Textiles, which is composed of 100% Pure Falklands Merino Wool. This luxurious yarn boasts 400m/440y per 100g. We suggest using colors: MC – 61 and CC – 57, or you can opt for two colors of any other fingering weight yarn that has similar yardage to achieve the desired gauge for your project.
NeedlesNeeded: A 3.50 mm/US #4 circular needle (100 cm/40” long) and a 3.75 mm/US #5 circular needle (100 cm/40” long) are essential for this pattern.
Other Tools: Don’t forget to gather 4 stitch markers and a tapestry needle for weaving in any loose ends as you complete your beautiful shawl.
Gauge: To ensure the best results, aim for a gauge of 24 sts and 40 rows = 10 cm/4” in Garter stitch, measured flat after wet blocking. Please note that while gauge isn’t crucial for this project, variations in gauge may affect the finished size and the total yardage required.
