Tiffany

Tiffany is a generous shawl with a half-pi construction that makes dramatic use of mini skeins and also looks incredible in a single colour. A mix of lace patterns, garter stitch and slip stitches create a stunning overall effect.

Yarn

Rainbow version:

RiverKnits Nene 4 Ply Rainbow Mini Skein Set, (100% Bluefaced Leicester Wool, 12 x 80m per 20g mini skeins, 960m per 240g set); ‘Shadow Rainbow’, 1 set of 12 colours. This yarn has been discontinued.

Any set of 12 x 20g/80m mini skeins will work well.

Single Colour version:

McIntosh, BFL 4ply, (100% Bluefaced Leicester Wool, 400m/100g or 600m/150g), 250g (either 3 x 100g skeins or 1 x 100g skein plus 1 x 150g skein), ‘My Innocence’. I used 222g

Needles

3.75mm (US 5), circular, 120cm or longer, or size required to achieve stated tension

Notions

2 stitch markers

Tapestry needle

Tension

Because of the way the colour changes work with the pattern, your tension is very important.

Using 3.75mm needles, knit your tension swatch according to instructions on page 2.

Measurements

Block to: 168 x 84cm (66 x 33”)

After blocking, shawl will pull in, reducing size by a few cm in both directions to 161 x 80.5cm (631⁄2 x 313⁄4“)

Notes

In the rainbow version Colours 1, 2 & 3 are used again at the end of the shawl (see p.6 for colour order).

Row numbers restart from 1 at each new section. All colour changes occur at the start of a RS row.
