The yarn I chose was a bit thinner than the recommended yarn, so i chose to go down a needle size to match, since it looked a bit messy in the recommended needle size. This made the shawl not as wide as the pattern’s finished dimensions, but I think this worked out well for me because I was going for a more scarf-like vibe anyway.

I used exactly 4 skeins of yarn, with nearly 1 whole skein for the increase section, 2 full skeins for the flat length section, and 1 skein for the decrease section.

I made this as a Christmas gift knit, and I was pleased at how quickly I was able to knit this up. The large gauge and needle size definitely helped the shawl grow quickly, and the pattern was fun and addicting which made the whole project fly by.
