The Railyard Shawl is a simple garter stitch triangle shawl finished with a tidy i-cord border and tassels. It features an interesting stripe progression and short row shaping that gives it more width than depth. Four 100g skeins of Barker Wool fingering weight yarn are used in your choice of colors. Each color gets used evenly throughout the shawl and also gets its chance to shine as the main color in one of four sections to give a balanced color-blocked effect.

Finished measurements: 70 inches wide x 33 inches deep.

Guage is important to ensure that you will not run out of yarn. You may have to drop down in needle size to match the gauge if you are a loose knitter.
