A shawl inspired by one of my favorite cities to visit, Fort Collins &#127794; &#9968;&#65039; Colorado, home to some very special people! This crescent-shaped shawl is filled with an engaging blend of stitches and techniques to keep you entertained. Textured stitches and a mosaic knitting pattern decorate the shawl and then finish with an eye-catching lace edging. Each section is simple and quick, so you are always looking forward to seeing what comes next. Grab your yarn and needles and join me on a trip to Fort Collins! **NOTE:** Mountain Ave Section- double yarn overs count as 1 stitch in total row stitch count **Yarn:** You will need 3 complementary Colors, I suggest color one can be lightly speckled and colors two and three be semi-solid colorways **I used:** (yardage is padded by 25 yards from my usage) Yarn: Emma’s Yarn Super Silky (80% Superwash Merino/20% silk, 400yards/100grams) Color One (C1): Shake 320 yards (white/green speckles) Color Two (C2): Be Hoppy 370 Yards (lighter green) Color Three (C3): Take a Hike 250 Yards (darker green edging) *<big>You can get this exact kit or shop for other colors [right here at Four Purls][1]</big>* **Needles:** US 4/3.5mm, & 5/3.75mm 32” circular needles & one US 7/4.5mm for bind off **Notions:** Stitch Marker, T-pins and blocking wires for blocking **Gauge:** 18 stitches = 4 inches in garter after aggressive blocking. Although gauge is not crucial for this project, it will affect the finished size and yarn requirements. A looser gauge will result in the use of more yarn. **Finished Size:** 18” deep x 88” neckline” tip to tip after blocking. Finished dimensions will vary due to blocking and fiber content; the silk in the sample resulted in a very drapey shawl. Thank you to my brilliant [Test Knitters][2] who made this pattern possible!!!
