Lumina is a reversible, squared-semicircular shawl inspired by a glowing, hand-dyed silk blend yarn in a beautifully draping DK weight. Beginning with a garter tab cast on, it is fully reversible with a garter stitch body and easy transitions between the lace edging patterns. Designed to maximize every yard of a special yarn, instructions are included to customize for differing amounts of yardage. See the last photo for a sample of Lumina knit up with one 650 yard skein of madelinetosh 80/10/10 fingering weight.

Techniques & Skills Used: provisional garter tab CO, knit/purl, lace; this pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the lace edging.

Size: 15” depth and 42” length, after blocking.

Yarn: Barking Dog Yarns Cassiopeia (50% Merino, 50% Silk; 230 yards/100g); 2 skeins, shown in Pinot Noir. For similar size and drape, choose a wool and silk blend dk weight yarn.

Other Materials: US 6 (4mm) 40” circular needle; US 9 (5.5mm) circular needle, any length, for bind off; Stitch markers (6); Yarn needle; Scrap yarn for provisional CO.
