The Frank Shawl

*A very easy and stunning shawl, inspired by the work of artist Frank Stella, this design is a study in geometry. Triangular pieces are assembled together to create a spectacular wrap with a unique shape that is both beautiful and stunning to wear, with many tips, all in different shades. I played with a gradient of grays, and my favorite color, gold, to give this shawl a vintage vibe.* The Frank Shawl is constructed as 3 triangular sections, joined together when working the last one of them. **Skill level: Beginner** **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** 97" (244 cm) from side to side and 39” (98 cm) from top to bottom at deepest point. See Schematic at the end of the pattern. **MATERIALS** Yarn: 4 skeins of [Tosh Merino Light][1], by Madelinetosh (100% Merino, 100g / 420yd [383m]) or approx. 1428 yards [1306 m] of fingering weight yarn. 1 skein in each color or approx. 420yd [383m] in color 1, 300yd [275m] in colors 2 and 3 and 340yd [311m] in color 4. The sample was made using colors: 1: **Glazed Pecan** (gold) 2: **Antler** (off-white) 3: **Scratched Record** (Charcoal) and 4: **Great Grey Owl** (medium gray). **Important: You will use every last yard of color 1. If you knit loosely and normally use more yarn than most patterns call for, I would recommend getting a second skein in this color.** Needles: US 5 (3.75mm) needles. Other notions: Stitch markers, tapestry needle, blocking pins or wires, waste yarn to put sts on hold. **GAUGE** 18 st and 38 rows to 4” (10cm) in garter st on US 5 (3.75 mm) needles after blocking. *Gauge is not crucial for this project, but changes might result in a different yardage requirement.* [1]: https://madelinetosh.com/collections/top-40
