Size Information

With yarn weight DK (Light) and needle size 3 mm (2.5) the shawl is about 210 cm (82.5 inches) wide from one tip to the other and approximately 90 cm (35.5 inches) long from the top edge to the lower tip. Depending on yarn weight and needle size, the dimensions may vary.

Materials List

• 450g of soft DK (8-ply / Light) weight yarn
• or 350g of Sport (6-ply / Fine) weight yarn combined with 60g of Lace yarn (2-ply) altogether.
When combining a Sport weight with a Lace weight yarn, both yarns are held together.
In doing so, you can create a smooth color gradient by taking lace yarn in different colors and a solid color sport yarn.
Due to the clear, simple structure of the shawl you can revel in colors: gradient yarn or multicolored for those who like it colorful, monochrome for purists.
The shawl can also be knit using other yarn weights. The yarn consumption and the dimensions of the shawl will change depending on yarn and needle size.
• 1 circular knitting needle (3 mm / 2.5, 100 cm / 40 inches long) or another needle size suitable for the yarn you choose
• 1 darning needle for weaving in the yarn ends
