New Buffalo uses five colors in broad stripes to create an airy, light weight wrap.

Worked in Stockinette stitch, the construction is simple: beginning at one tip, the increase section is worked first, then the decrease section is worked to the other tip.

We’ve chosen bold colors with high contrast: Fawn, Chicory, Ironweed, Trillium and Angelica. A range of our greys or browns would be equally lovely.

The instructions are written.

GAUGE

Exact gauge is not crucial. Use a needle size that gives you a fabric that you like, but be aware that a change in gauge can affect the amount of yarn used and the size of the finished shawl.
