Watching the colors move and change was mesmerizing, and I finished the shawl long before I was ready to, because I just could not set it down! I hope this shawl inspires you to grab some of your favorite yarns and mash them together in a shawl that begs to be wrapped around you! This shawl is knit from the top down using Brioche and Half-fishermen's rib. It is very customizable for different yarn weights and to achieve different sizes. **SIZES** Sample 1 (Pink): Wingspan: 78”/198 cm; Center Depth: 35”/89 cm Sample 2 (Turquoise): Wingspan: 73”/185.5 cm; Center Depth: 34”/86.5 cm *This shawl is very adaptable to your size preference!* **YARN REQUIREMENTS** *These are just approximations. Total yarn usage will depend on the yarn you use (fiber content, ply, etc.), your personal gauge, and any modifications you may make.* MC: Light Fingering or DK Weight (620-721 yds) CC: Fingering or Sport Weight (600-700 yds) *Thanks to the flexibility of this pattern, you can play around with anything from light fingering to DK weight yarns! I recommend pairing one lighter weight yarn with one heavier weight yarn. I.E.: Sample 1 used light fingering (MC) with sport (CC) & Sample 2 used DK (MC) with sport (CC). YARDAGE WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW BIG YOU KNIT YOUR SHAWL.* **SUGGESTED YARN** *This shawl was inspired by my handspun yarn! For the pink sample I paired a marled, 2-ply Cormo yarn with a bright and playful 2-ply yarn spun up from the Hedgehog Fibres Fibre Club. I love how the soft neutrals of the Cormo balance out the pops of color from the Fibre Club! I then knit up a second sample out of commercially available yarns. I had some amazing Cormo DK from Wing and A Prayer Farm that was a heavier weight than my handspun, but full of soft bounce! I paired it with Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool, to give a similar look to the playful, shifting colors of my own handspun. The options are really endless for this shawl. I would choose anything from Fingering to DK weight and solids, marls, speckles, and variegated will all look amazing!* Sample 1 (Pink): MC - Handspun Cormo (4.9 oz/141 g/721 yds) White and Taupe marl CC - Handspun Hedgehog Fibres Mixed Fibers (7.5 oz/213 g/667 yds) Multi-colored *Spinning notes are included in the pattern.* Sample 2 (Turquoise): MC - Wing & A Prayer Farm Cormo DK (100 g/310 yds) - 2 skeins Peter Pan & Fam Cormo in Sea Glass Indigo CC - Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool (200 yds) - 3 skeins (1 each of Close Call, Summer Love, & The Family Jewels) **SUGGESTED NEEDLES** US 4/3.5 mm - 32-40”/80-100 cm circular needle **NOTIONS** 4 fixed stitch markers (1 unique), tapestry needle **GAUGE** Sample 1 (Pink): 17 sts & 28 rows = 4”/10 cm Sample 2 (Turquoise): 14 sts & 20 rows = 4”/10 cm *Measured over two-color brioche stitch, using both yarns, knit flat, after blocking.* **TECHNIQUES TO INDULGE IN** [Garter Tab Cast On][2] [Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off][3] Knitting Increasing Purling 2 Color Brioche ([Continental][4] / [English][5]) [Half-Fishermen's Rib][6] [Increasing in Brioche][7] [Increasing in Half-Fishermen's Rib][8] **YARN SUBSTITUTION IDEAS** [Click here to be directed to a pdf with some yarn substitution ideas!
