pointed firs

Inspired by the tops of the fir trees where I summer in Maine, POINTED FIRS is a textured, triangle neckerchief, shawlette or shawl. Beginning with an addictive chevron pattern, which is mirrored on each side of the center st, and framed in garter st, POINTED FIRS is equally elegant neck warmer, draped scarf or cozy wrap for anyone on your holiday gift list (or keep one for yourself)! POINTED FIRS is shown in luxe The Uncommon Thread Posh DK, using 1, 2 or 3 skeins. The yarn is fabulous to work with, comes in gorgeous hand-dyed colors and has the perfect combination of fibers with 75% super wash Bluefaced Leicester wool for warmth, 20% silk for the perfect darpe and 10% cashmere for softness. **SIZES** (Shawl size shown above, 3 sizes show on back) Neckerchief (Shawlette, Shawl) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** WINGSPAN: 36 (53, 68)"/91.5 (134.5,172.5)cm LENGTH: 14 ½ (24, 30)"/37 (61, 76)cm **YARN** * 1 (2, 3) skeins The Uncommon Thread Posh DK [70% superwash Bluefaced Leicester wool, 20% silk, 10% cashmere; 250 yds/230m per 115g skein] **or** * Approx 250 (500, 750) yds/230 (460, 690)m DK/ light worsted weight yarn **NEEDLES** 32”/80cm circular needle with size needed to obtain gauge.
