Vice Versa Shawl

>Flock Weekend Special: enjoy 15% off, no code needed! Valid until Monday 8/12 11:59PM CST. **About the Pattern** The Vice Versa Shawl is a triangular shawl with a center-out construction offered in two sizes. The dimensions are similar to a crescent-shaped shawl with its large wingspan but relatively shallow center depth. It features two-color brioche and i-cord edges. It starts with knitting an i-cord, followed by picking up stitches on either side of the i-cord for each half of the shawl. Due to the forgiving nature of brioche, this shawl is perfect for handspun and can accommodate pairings of different yarn weights. For example, sport + fingering or sport + DK! **Sizes** Small (Large) **Finished Dimensions** Small: 75 in (187.5 cm) wingspan x 15 in (37.5 cm) center depth Large: 106 in (265 cm) wingspan x 22.5 in (56.3 cm) center depth **Gauge (measured over 4in/10cm)** Brioche St – 16 sts x 21.5 rows, *after wet blocking* **Suggested Needles** US 4 (3.5mm) or size needed to obtain gauge *Note: some test knitters sized down to US 3 (3.25mm) needles.* **Notions** Stitch markers, tapestry needle, scrap yarn, crochet hook (same size as main needle) **Yarn** Fingering or sport weight yarn in two colors **Yarn A:** 270 yds (605 yds) // 247 m (554 m) **Yarn B:** 305 yds (614 yds) // 279 m (562 m) **Yarn Used** Small Sample: **Yarn A:** Studio Dog Fibers Ribbon Winners 2019 (400 yds/365 m per 100g) **Yarn B:** 2-ply fingering weight handspun, Pearlescent on Polwarth by Wee Chickadee Wool Co Small Sample used 61g (244 yds/224 m) of Yarn A and 59g (276 yds/253 m) of Yarn B.
