I knitted mine with a single Wheely cake available at Yarnz2go HERE.

This is a definite keeper, the Zita shawl looks and feels wonderful.
This is one of those shawls that you can wear all year. It is open and airy and it’s a super quick knit too. I created mine in just one day. Certainly a project that is extremely satisfying. Knitted sideways in stockinette stitch and steady increases until you create the wide and very cool, staggered eyelet border.

The pattern is fully written and is an easy knit.

The unblocked size is 66” in overall length and 21” in height.
