This shawl was designed to use 10 mini skeins and a silk-mohair yarn from Biscotte Yarns advent calendar 2020. For this special project, I wanted to play with geometric shapes and contrasting textures to highlight the zig-zag pattern in the center of the stole.

In addition to the knitting pattern, you will need the following materials to knit the JOY TO THE WORLD shawl:

Knitting Kit Including : HERMIONE 1 x 50g (Nature) + BIS-SOCK 10 x 25g (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J)
Straight or circular needles of 3.25 mm or size needed to obtain gauge***
One extra straight or circular needle of similar size (the size of this needle is not so important because we will use it to achieve the kitchener stitch)
10 re-sealable zipper storage bags (« ziploc » type) and a marker pen to identify them.
Stitch holders or scrap yarn
Stitch markers
Removable stitch markers (or safety pins)
Tapestry needle

FINAL SIZE: 222 cm; 87” long and 22cm; 8 ½“ wide. To make a shorter stole, subtract one (or more) triangles. The quantity of yarn suggested is sufficient to knit up to 6 triangles, as shown in the photo.

GAUGE : 24 sts = 10cm; 4” in garter stitch, with Bis-Sock after blocking.

**ATTENTION: The gauge is not critical for this design, but a looser gauge could result in a larger stole that would require more yarn than indicated here. To avoid running out of yarn, be sure to respect the suggested gauge.

NOTES: This stole is made of 6 identical triangles, knitted in the same ways as “mini-shawls”, which are joined to form a long strip. This project is rather easy to realize since it is entirely knitted in garter stitch. That said, I have identified two elements that could be more complex for beginners: starting the triangles with a garter tab cast-on and then grafting the triangles together in kitchener stitch. In both cases, I have prepared a tutorial to help you.

Since there are 10 skeins of Bis-Sock yarn to be included in the project, I used 10 small “ziploc style” bags to store and identify each ball of yarn. On each bag, I also wrote the number of rows to knit with that color. To avoid having to weave in several ends of yarn on each triangle, I suggest you to use this method by Stephen West: Weavin’ Stephen: https://youtu.be/Fz292NAjH2M
