Playground Shawl
One day I cast on for the shawl shortly after breakfast to be ready to knit it during the many hours I find myself with kids at the playground. It was meant to be simple and fun, with a maximum of two sections that could be easily memorized – a perfect playground shawl.
This design has been created to show off the beauty of Caterpillargreen Yarns. Although I strongly recommend enjoying “the Caterpillargreen experience”, you can use substitutes. You can grab any yarn you wish – any color, any weight – and just play with the instructions to create your own beautiful Playground Shawl. Your imagination is the only limit here!
Size:
adjustable; sample size: approx. 145cm/58” wide along top edge and 55cm/22” high.
Yarn:
1 skein of Caterpillargreen Yarns MCN Fingering – Shawl (70% merino, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon; 370m/405y per 115g). Sample show in colorway: Concrete and Tulips.
Needles:
4.5mm/US #7 circular needle (60cm/24” long).
Other:
tapestry needle for weaving, blocking pins.
Gauge:
16 sts and 38 rows = 10cm/4” in Garter st worked flat.
The gauge isn’t crucial on this project, but differences will affect the finished size as well as the required yardage.
