Color Boost Shawl

Color Boost is a stylish and romantic crescent-shaped shawl. It is very simple but effective, thanks to the original combination of yarns in different weights and structures. Mohair yarn makes the shawl airy and fluffy and, at the same time, beautifully highlights the colors of variegated merino.

This design was created in collaboration with Martin’s Lab Hand Dyed Yarn & Fiber. If you would like to use the same yarn, click here.

Yarn

To make this shawl you’ll need about 360m / 395y of fingering weight yarn in main color MC and about 200m / 220y of lace weight mohair yarn in contrast color CC.

I’ve used Martin’s Lab Merino Singles in Magnolia (100% merino, 366m / 400y per 100g) and Martin’s Lab Silky Mohair in Creamy White ( 72% Goat - Mohair, 28% Silk; 420m / 459y per 50g ).

Note: Remember please, that the yardage is estimated.

Needles

3.5 mm / US #4 circular needles ( 80 cm / 32” long ).

3.75 mm / US #5 circular needles ( 80 cm / 32” long ).

Gauge

20 sts and 36 rows = 10x10 cm / 4x4 “ - in striped garter stitch worked flat with 3.5mm / US #4 needles. The swatch should be made in striped garter stitch, using both yarns alternated in every second row. Measure the gauge after washing and blocking the swatch.
