    CONSTRUCTION

    • This shawl is worked circularly from the center out. The lace edging is worked back and forth and joined to the live shawl stitches as it progresses.


    GAUGE

    • Laceweight Version: 24 stitches & 26 rounds = 4″ over lace pattern, after blocking
    • Worsted Weight Version: 16 stitches & 18 rounds = 4″ over lace pattern, after blocking 
    • Note: Finished gauge will vary once shawl is blocked into circular shape. Listed gauges are a guide. Experience shows us that this pattern looks wonderful in a number of gauges and yarn weights. Experimentation is encouraged!


    NEEDLES

    • One 32” circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain pattern gauge
    • Laceweight Version suggested size: 4 mm (US 6)
    • Worsted Weight suggested size: 5½ mm (US 9)


    *32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (e.g., the center of the shawl).


    FINISHED DIMENSIONS

    • Laceweight Version: 51″ [129.5 cm] diameter
    • Worsted Weight Version: 72” [183 cm] diameter
    • Measurements taken from relaxed fabric after blocking


    Please note: the stitch patterns for this shawl are charted only.
