“You will love this triangle-shaped shawl in an easy stitch on huge size 50 needles. It ends up very loose, open, and modern-looking, but the hand-tied fringe gives it a classic look. The baby alpaca yarn is perfect for weekend getaways because it’s so light and versatile. You can wear it around you neck as an accessory, your waist as a beach cover-up, or your shoulders on a chilly evening.”

A note about gauge: Because of the light and airy effect of knitting lacy yarn on large needles, precise gauge is difficult to measure and, for this project, not really necessary.
