Notes

(Images do not do the yarn justice!)

We decided to have an Araucania Ranco Multi knit week in the shop to whip up some shop samples and this was my effort!

The pattern was sooo simple, ideal for beginner knitters and the project grew really fast.

The yarn was great to knit with, excellent stitch definition and although I picked a colourway I wouldn’t normally chose if shopping for myself, I loved how it knitted up. No pooling and the finished shawl looked lovely.

Would definitely knit this pattern again and use this yarn again.

I did two extra repeats on the shawl as it seemed a bit small so the guess the only amends I would make in future would be to go up a needle size or two and add extra repeats.
