About this pattern
The idea for this pattern came to me during the dark winter. Glæma means ray/beam of light and is often used when the sun breaks through the clouds. I went through my yarn stash and found a nice charcoal “winter sky colour” and a cheery yellow that made a nice “colour pop.”

Shawl construction
Glæma is knitted top down beginning with a garter tab. The construction is a classic triangular shawl with a 4-stitch edge. After knitting the triangle the edge is knitted on sideways.

Needles and notions

• 80cm / 32”, 4.0mm (US 6) circular needles
• 4 stitch markers (If possible: 3 markers in one colour and 1 marker in a different colour to mark the beginning of RS rows.)
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Yarn
Snældan 2-ply (100% natural wool; 100g; 360m/394 yards).
Sample used 2 skeins in the colours “9-Charcoal” (160 g.) as MC and “10-Yellow” (105 g.) as CC.
(Snældan 2-ply is equivalent to fingering weight.)

Yardage
Main colour: 520-635 m / 569-695 yards
Contrasting Colour: 340-420 m / 372-460 yards

Gauge
21 sts and 32 rows = 10 cm / 4” in stockinette stitch after washing and blocking.
Gauge is not crucial to this project, but varying gauges will affect the amount of yarn used, and final measurements.
