Solar is a fun and quick to knit one skein wonder. You work this crescent-shaped shawl alternating garter stitch with stockinette ridges and beautiful yet simple lace. Picot bind-off adds delicate detail to the border.

Solid and semi-solid yarns work best for this shawl, but the choice is yours. I bet you already have a perfect skein in your stash.

YARN
One skein of Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20 (70% merino wool, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon; 366 m / 400 yds per 100 g). Shown in colour Bumble Bee.

Or approximately 355 m / 388 yds of similar fingering weight yarn.

NEEDLES
Size 4 mm / US 6 needle or size to obtain the pattern gauge

This shawl is worked flat, but I recommend using 80-100 cm / 32-40 inch circular needles to accommodate the growing number of stitches.

FINISHED SIZE After blocking
165 cm / 65 in (width) x 56 cm / 22 in (depth)
