Slipstravaganza

*Slipstravaganza was originally released as the 11th Westknits Mystery Shawl KAL. Section 1 begins with striped honeycombs followed by picking up stitches for crisp columns. Slip stitch diamonds feature all four colors and then a small checked slip stitch pattern leads into the chevron border. Choose two skeins of fingering weight yarn for the main color with three contrast color pops.* **Size** One size with a customizable border. You can work fewer CC stripes in the border for a smaller shawl. **Finished Measurements** 75 (81)” / 191 (206)cm wingspan length, 26 (29)” / 66 (74)cm from CO to BO measured along center. Measurements taken after blocking. **Yarn** Fingering weight **Yardage** MC - 766yds / 700m CC1 - 399yds / 365m CC2 - 399yds / 365m CC3 - 399yds / 365m If you are knitting a version with a smaller border, you will require less yarn, but I recommend starting with the yardage recommendations above to ensure you do not run out of yarn. **Shown in** **Purple Gold Sample** West Wool Bicycle (100% South American Merino Wool; 191yds / 175m per 50g skein) MC - Dijon CC1 - Sherbert CC2 - Unicorn CC3 - Chestnut **Gold Gray Sample** Qing Fibre High Twist BFL (100% BFL Wool; 399yds / 365m per 100g skein) MC - Biscuit (gold) CC1 - Charcoal 1 (light gray) CC2 - Charcoal 2 (medium gray) CC3 - Charcoal 3 (dark gray) **Red Sample** Qing Fibre High Twist BFL (100% BFL Wool; 399yds / 365m per 100g skein) MC - Annie (red) CC1 - Charcoal 1 (light gray) CC2 - Dust (peachy neutral) CC3 - Lightning (yellow) **Notions** 54 stitch markers, tapestry needle **Needles** US 4 / 3.5mm circular in 40” / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge **Gauge** 24 sts & 36 rows = 4” / 10cm in stockinette stitch (un-blocked). Try to get close to the recommended stitch gauge to ensure you don’t run out of yarn. A similar stitch gauge is more important than getting a similar row gauge. Try to get close to 24 sts = 4” / 10cm, but between 22 – 24 sts per 4” / 10cm is also fine. Try not to be close to 20 sts per 4” / 10cm because that will be a looser fabric and you may use more than the recommended yardage. **Westknits Workshops** Venture into the world of Westknits with my series of online workshops.
