Notes

Whole cone used, I was left with approx 2 meters of yarn after the crochet finishing.

I used a “yo, tbl, yo” in the stockinette section in the middle as I did not like the way the m3 looked in the previous Trachtentuch I made.

Wingspan is approx 125 cm and height at the middle is 49 cm. Nice size to be used as a scarf under a jacket, a bit too small for a proper shawl. I should’ve blocked this folded double from the middle to get the wings symmetrical, now the other is a tad bit longer than the other. The yarn was a bit on the thick side though and I was worried about drying - maybe I will block it double next time it needs a washing. Lovely yarn again from CM! The cone was on the heavy side, as this project weighs 159 grams in total and I already used a bit of this yarn to make small cuffs.
