CONSTRUCTION

• The shawl begins with a triangle worked from the tip to the wider edge, in a regularly-striped pattern. Stitches are then picked up along one diagonal edge of the triangle and worked in an irregularly striped pattern, using short rows to shape, and tapering gently towards the end of the shawl.

GAUGE

• Finished Gauge: 18 stitches & 32 rows = 4″ in garter stitch; after blocking

NEEDLES

• Size A Needle: One 24″ long circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

FINISHED DIMENSIONS

• Piece is irregularly shaped; see schematic for details

YARDAGE

• Fingering weight wool yarn in the following approximate amounts: 305 yards of Main Color, 305 yards of Contrast Color

YARN

• 2 skeins MC and 2 skeins CC of Brooklyn Tweed Loft (100% American Targhee-Columbia wool; 275 yards / 50g) 
• Photographed in Sweatshirt (MC) and Soot (CC)

Note that sample was made with exactly 1 skein each of MC and CC.

If you wish to make the shawl using one skein each, work the 2-Row Stripe Section until you run out of CC, and work the Solid Section until you run out of MC. Your shawl may be a slightly different size if you choose to do this. If you have not matched gauge, your yarn requirements may vary.
