Gwen Mini Shawl

Designed for the Qing Fibre 2023 advent calendar, Gwen is a fun and colourful top-down triangular shawl that uses 9 tones of fingering weight yarn. Inspired by the patterns within Welsh blankets, Gwen uses slip stitches to create multicoloured textured panels mixed with mosaic motifs. Gwen’s petite size is perfect to add warmth but not bulk, and is sure to brighten up any outfit. Yarn bundles are available for this design from Qing Fibre. https://www.qingfibre.com/products/florence-spurling-gwen-mini-shawl-merino-sock-minis?_pos=1&_sid=525788fb5&_ss=r **Yarn** Colours 1-9 (C1-C9) Qing Sock Mini 25% Nylon, 75% Merino Fingering Weight 80m / 88yds per 20g / 0.7oz ball Sample used: C1 – 56m / 62yds of “Papyrus” (mustard) C2 – 76m / 84yds of “Celadon” (turquoise) C3 – 68m / 75yds of “Magnolia” (cream) C4 – 64m / 70yds of “Hibiscus” (lilac) C5 – 44m / 49yds of “Lobelia” (denim blue) C6 – 76m / 84yds of “Sapho” (white/blue speckle) C7 – 60m / 66yds of “Gentian” (bright blue) C8 – 48m / 53yds of “Vanilla” (yellow speckle) C9 – 100m / 110yds of “Camellia” (pink) **Tools & materials** • 3.5mm / US 4, 100cm / 40” circular needle • 4 stitch markers • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends **Finished Measurements** One size Wingspan: 106cm / 41.75” Depth: 53cm / 20.75”
