Building Blocks was the Westknits Mystery Shawl KAL 2016.

Choose four colors of fingering or sport weight yarn to knit this large angular shawl. Textured bands with garter stitch, two-color brioche, knit-n-slide, and stockinette stitch decorate the unique shape. The beginning is very small and quickly grows into a long wingspan. Solid or speckled yarns work beautifully with this pattern!

Sample shown in size Large.

Finished Measurements
76 (86, 98)“ / 193 (218, 249)cm wingspan length, 20 (22.5, 25)” / 51 (57, 64)cm from CO to BO edge.

Sporty Merino is a custom spun yarn by Hedgehog Fibres available exclusively through Stephen & Penelope for 2016. Sporty Merino is a non-superwash merino with incredible spring and bounce. Due to the fluffy voluminous nature of the soft merino, it feels like a heavy fingering/sport weight yarn even though it has 400yds / 366m per 100g. The stitches bloom and fill space more than slick superwash yarns resulting in a more cohesive and “woolly” fabric. Sporty Merino produces amazing crisp stitch definition.

You can also use standard fingering weight yarns for this project.

Needles
47” / 120cm US 5 / 3.75mm circular or size needed to obtain gauge. You can start with a shorter circular cord length, but a long circular needle will be more comfortable throughout the project.

Notions
32 stitch markers, tapestry needle

Gauge
26 sts & 44 rows 4” / 10cm in garter stitch
26 sts & 36 rows 4” / 10cm in stockinette stitch

Errata
Clue #4 Section 9 Row 6 should read WS instead of RS.
