Mautinoa

*Stitch patterns with extraordinary visual appeal really make my heart swell. I find new stitch tricks and interesting or unexpected results a huge part of my motivation as a knitter. In Mautinoa, a shawl named after my father, I hope you will be challenged and excited to get each new section because of the interesting and unexpected look of each stitch pattern. Mautinoa means “to be confident” in my father’s native language of Samoan and I am confident that this shawl will soon become one of your favorite makes!* **Weight** Fingering (4 ply) **Yardage** Color A: 374y/345m Color B: 348y/318m Color C: 330y/302m Color D: 392y/358m **Shown in** Essence of Autumn Zephyr (75% SW Merino/15% Cashmere/10% Silk; 420yds / 384m per 115g skein) Color A: Firecracker Color B: Red Hot Life in the Long Grass Singles (100% Superwash Merino; 400yds / 366m per 100g skein) Color C: Parchment Color D: Pollinate **Gauge** 24 sts & 46 rows = 4”/ 10 cm in garter stitch on US5 / 3.75 mm needles after blocking. **Needles** US5 / 3.75 mm circular needle, 40” / 100 cm.
