I designed this shawl to make the most out of a small amount of precious fiber, and to be an accessible introduction to knitting with a fine unplied yarn. It features a simple, consistent stitch pattern and uses relatively large needles - so while you’re getting used to knitting with tiny yarn you don’t also need to adjust to tiny needles.

Included are four sizes to fit just about any amount of yarn. Gauge is not important beyond that it will affect the finished size of your garment. Recommended needle size is 3.5mm (US 4) for laceweight yarn and 4.0mm (US 6) for fingering weight yarn.

A simple stitch pattern pairs with a fluffy mohair-silk yarn to create an elegant garment which adds warmth without adding bulk.
