Have you joined our Pseudo Mystery Knitalong? this is not a fully mystery KAL, it’s a guided unfolding.
The beautiful damage shawl will reveal itself in clues, each one intentional, each one leaving space where something new can exist.
This shawl was designed in a season of grief and distance. The design explores intentional openness - holes, gaps, negative space.
All looks broken and weak and then somehow it becomes healed and beautiful again- learn to cherish lovely memories, stitching them together slowly.
This Kal invites you to trust the process, to knit without rushing ahead and to let the story reveal itself slowly - just as healing does.
Creating this piece became a way to keep moving, one stitch at a time, when words were difficult to find. This piece is dedicated to what was lost and to what continues!

Materials & Info
3 x 50 g Chaska Puray (kit can be purchased from Cabana D’yarna, providing plenty of yarn if you want to change the size)
Other suggestions: any fluffy yarn in light dk approx 500-600m - solid or soft tonal will work better in my opinion

Needles:
5mm or 5.5mm if your knitting style is very firm
preferably circular to allow for the bigger number of stitches
5mm Hook for the crochet bind off

Not extremely essential but if different, final dimensions and yardage used may vary.
Approx 16st/21 rows = 10 cm/ 4 in

Shape: triangle but will shift slightly to a half pi.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
