Other Info:
Two options are provided for working this pattern — version A for knitters that prefer to knit and version B, for knitters that prefer to purl. The shawl was knitted with Drops Silk Alpaca, however either solid or variegated yarns look fantastic due to the pattern’s simplicity.

As shown Poeira has 20 repeats of Chart B, to adjust the shawl’s size simply change the number of repeats of Chart B. It was knitted with Garnstudio Drops Baby Alpaca Silk (fingering weight yarn) approx 334.7 m (366 yds). Adjust the needle size accordingly to the desired effect - larger needles for an airy look or smaller needles for better st definition. Gauge is listed as a guide for yardage requirements - if you knit to a different gauge, make sure you have the yarn you will need.
