Test knitting for Teti!
This will be a Christmas present … or may be I just keep it myself! hearts

I chose the option for a HALF version = rectangular shawl, instead of knitting both halves as a wrap. I did it like this:

I skipped the right (light) half, and started directly on the left (dark) half by casting on 115 sts with my MC.

MC: Sølje + Silk Mohair (red)
CC: Nutiden held double (white)

My gauge (pattern’s gauge):
17 (20) sts & 30 (30) rows in 10 cm.

My gauge was according to the pattern on my swatch, but went looser while knitting. It is my first time knitting with Nutiden yarn, and I guess I was afraid of knitting too tight and breaking the yarn, so this affected my gauge.

But the size is perfect as a shawl for me:
74 cm height, 172 cm length

Total weight: 284 g
