Fall in love with the simple and clean lines of Waiting for Spring. This asymmetric shawl is worked in two colours in delicate yet decidedly modern stitch patterns.

You begin the shawl with relaxing garter stitch that’s punctuated by thin fishnet stripes. Then you switch to your second colour and work a wide, airy fishnet lace border with garter stitch stripes.

Have fun choosing your colour combo or make a chic monochromatic version by using a single colour throughout the shawl.

YARN
Two colours of Alpha B Yarn Sexy B (70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk, 10% Cashmere; 400 m / 437 yds per 100 g), one skein of both colours. Shown in colours Stainless Steel (C1) and Two Olives, Please (C2).

Or similar fingering weight yarn.

The shawl will also look great worked in a single colour.

AMOUNT OF YARN
Colour 1 (C1): 352 m / 385 yds
Colour 2 (C2): 220 m / 240 yds
Or about 572 m / 625 yds for a single colour version.

NEEDLES
Size 4 mm / US 6 needles or size to obtain pattern gauge

This shawl is worked flat, but I recommend using 80-100 cm / 32-40 inch circular needles to accommodate the growing number of stitches.

89 cm / 35 in (depth) x 190 cm / 75 in (width)
