Pattern Notes

This shawl features my original 2#2 stitch and a symmetrical, heart‑shaped construction. The shape is very flexible — the stitch count grows quickly, so you can bind off whenever the wingspan feels right for you.

Yarn Used (Sample)

Main yarn
• Sesia Talent — 200 g cake (700 m), long gentle colour transitions

Held together with fluff
• Sesia Oliver — 425 m
• When Oliver ran out: approx. 20 g Sesia Vivienne — ~175 m
Total fluff used: ~600 m

I held the merino double with soft, airy fibres to enhance the colour transitions and add a delicate halo.

Finished Measurements (Sample)

• Wingspan: 185 cm / 73 in
• Depth: 75 cm / 30 in

Using the Full Cake

If you work the entire 700 m of merino + 700 m of fluff, testers achieved:

• Wingspan: 214 cm / 84 in
• Depth: 84 cm / 33 in

Bind‑Off

The shawl is finished with a knotted i‑cord bind‑off that echoes the texture of the 2#2 stitch. Full instructions are included in the pattern.
