Botanika

Botanika is a classic triangular shawl worked from the top center back to the edge and is easily adjustable. Variegated yarn, which is so beautiful in the skein, can be disappointing when worked up. This design makes the most of a variegated yarn's beauty by using clever stitch patterns based on the simple linen stitch. These stitch patterns are thoughtfully combined in a way that highlights the colorplay and helps the colors pop without pooling or hiding the stitches. The pattern includes photo tutorials and **an additional chart** showing the stitch patterns worked without increases which can be used to make a swatch, practice these stitches, or crochet a rectangular accessory such as a scarf or a stole. **MATERIALS** - Yarn: Malabrigo Sock; light fingering / 3 ply; 440 yd (402 m) per 100 g skein; 100% merino wool - Hook: U.S. E (3.5 mm) - Locking stitch marker - Yarn needle to weave in ends **YARDAGE** * 3 skeins in shade 723 Indonesia **GAUGE FOR SWATCH** * 22 sts x 20 rows = 4″ (10 cm) in linen st patt, after blocking **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** * 67¾″ (172 cm) wingspan, 29½″ (75 cm) height at center The shawl is easily adjustable and you can make it smaller or larger by working fewer or more row-PRs. Bear in mind that in this case, your yardage requirements and finished dimensions will change.
