GAUGE is an essential aspect of any knitting project. For this shawl, the recommended gauge is 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4” / 10 cm in the lace stitch pattern, once wet blocked. While achieving the precise gauge isn’t crucial for this pattern, it’s important to note that variations in gauge will impact your overall yardage. The Wild Fields shawl was knitted using the exact amount of yarn specified in the pattern. Therefore, if you choose to use a different type of yarn or knit at a different gauge, your yarn supply may vary. It’s wise to prepare by having enough yarn on hand to ensure you complete your shawl without running out!
