All measurements are given before blocking. The textured stitch pattern will lie flat, and it is not necessary to block the shawl unless desired.

MC – 470 yards (430 meters)
CC – 400 yards (366 meters)
Finished Measurement: 65” (165 cm) along top edge, 24.5” (62 cm) at deepest point.
Needles: US 8 (5 mm) circular needle long enough to accomodate a large number of stitches.
Gauge and yarn weight are not crucial to the pattern, but please keep in mind any changes will affect yardage and finished measurements.
