Momentary Shawl

Everything is momentary. This shawl, sadness, you and I. It’s all fleeting.

The Momentary Shawl is an oversized but light and airy accessory for cool days and breezy nights. It’s worked side to side and then edging worked on the bottom edge.

Techniques: basic stitches, puff stitches, dc3tog. Stitch descriptions are provided.

Yarn: You will need approximately 1500 yards of fingering weight yarn in four colors: a main color and 3 contrasting colors. Generally, you’ll be fine with one skein of each of the contrasts and 3 skeins of the main color.

985 yards (901 meters) of the main color - the sample used Sewrella Yarn’s Classic Sock in the color Hitchhiking Ghosts

140 yards (128 meters) of contrast color 1 - the sample used Golden Sheep Fibers BFL Sock in the color Michelle’s Shells

200 yards (183 meters) of contrast color 2 - the sample used Emma’s Yarn Hella Hank in the color Jackie O

165 yards (151 meters) of contrast color 3 - the sample used Golden Sheep Fibers in the color Everything’s Rosy

Hook: Size I/5.5mm or size needed to achieve gauge and a beautiful drape
