This medium sized shawl is designed to help you stand out when you are used to blending in. You are worth being seen!

I designed this shawl to use a ball of Zauberball yarn, plus a ‘neutral’ and a border colour. However the pattern lends itself well to using up bright oddments or partial balls that you may have in your stash. You can stripe yarns or use blocks of colour. It is always worth using something that you already have if you can!

The yarns I used in my sample knit grew only a little when blocked, if your yarns are more flexible you may end up with a larger shawl (and there’s nothing wrong with that).

My dimensions before blocking were 43 inches along top edge and 19 inches deep (top to bottom of spine)

After blocking the shawl measured 53 inches along top edge and 22 inches deep (top to bottom of spine)
