The “birds” pattern is pretty from both sides, so it can be worn from either side.

The piece starts with 3 stitches, and increases are worked up to its desired width, followed by a center section with parallel edges, and finally a shawl tip with decreases on the opposite side.

The pattern also describes a triangle version which starts the same way - you simply never stop increasing. This version will probabyly need more yarn.

Needles: Main needle size is 3,25mm; 3,0mm needles for the setup rows and the very last rows.

Gauge: 24 sts x 48 rows = 10cm in “Birds” pattern. But gauge is not important - continue increases or stop earlier to reach your desired width.

Yarn: Approx. 540 - 600m main color MC (= the background color) + 360 - 400m contrast color CC of a Fingering weight yarn for the given measurements.

For my sample, I have used Zauberwiese Sockenwolle Handgefärbt 75/25 (75% wool, 25% nylon, 425m/ 100g).

For my 2nd sample, the one in triangle shape, I have used a Brushed Alpaca Lace yarn with 450m/ 50g as background color, which creates a fabric which is the slightest bit transparent.
