General Information:
This shawl is an asymmetric triangle knitted sideways from a few cast on stitches. It is mostly garter stitch with rows of slipped stitches to create the pattern and finished with an i-cord bind off.
Yarn choice: When choosing your colours, it is important to have a good contrast (light vs dark in very different colours) between the MC and CC. Resist the temptation to buy two yarns that complement each other because they share colours in common as the pattern will be quickly lost. A very variegated yarn paired with a neutral would also work well.
You will need:
Yarn:
MC: Sock weight, 565 m / 618 yds. Shown in Malabrigo sock, colour Ochre.
CC: Sock weight 221 m / 242 yds. Shown in Malabrigo sock, colour Eggplant.
Needles and notions:
3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle, or size required to obtain gauge, minimum 32” / 80 cm long.
Tapestry needle to sew in ends.
Gauge:
25 sts and 46 rows to 4” / 10 cm in garter st, after blocking.
Gauge is not crucial for this project, but variations will affect yardage and final measurements.
Size:
Wingspan: 80” / 203 cm.
Depth: 19”/ 48 cm.
Measurements taken after blocking.
