Pattern Details:

Finished Measurements: approximately 106.5”/ 266cm x 25”/ 63.5cm (width x length at center).

Needles: US 5/ 4mm or size to obtain gauge in Garter Stitch. Use your preferred needles for working flat. I used DPNs to cast on, then switched to a 24” circular needle, then to a 60” circular needle.

Gauge: 19 sts and 38 rows = 4”/ 10cm over Garter Stitch. While gauge isn’t crucial for this project, it will affect the size of your shawl and the amount of yarn used. There is a 10% cushion built in to prevent us from playing yarn chicken, but we will be using nearly the full yarn requirement.

Yarn: fingering weight in MC; 600 yds/ 150g; fingering weight in three colors; 81 yds/ 20g each CC1, CC2, CC3.

Notions: stitch markers, locking stitch marker or safety pin to mark the RS of your knitting, tapestry needle, blocking supplies.
