Idylluna Shawl

Huge thanks to my wonderful test knitters and their beautiful colours! This no-slip shawl was created to showcase hand-dyed yarns and gradient sets. It exhibits [Keenan Hand Dyed Yarn][1] who creates rich, sweet colours in Michigan . Although it is optional, this kite-shaped shawl features a “head hole” so that you can wear it like a garment with the points dripping down, or wrapped around your neck for warmth. You can also use the gap as a “keyhole”, pulling one end through. This shawl is grown from a single point on circular needles using increases and decreases for the shaping. It is composed partly with Stockinette stitch and partly with an idyllic garter eyelet stitch. It maximizes your yardage so no precious hand-dyed yarn goes to waste. **Skill Level** Rookie-**Apprentice**-Virtuoso-Genius **Skills** knit, purl, yarn over, centered double decrease **Gauge** not crucial - approx 26-28 sts and 34 rows = 10 cm (4”) in St st on 4 mm after blocking **Yardage and Yarn** * approx 923-1000 yds of fingering weight wool (1 skein + a gradient pack) *Note* For fun, mix in a bonus mohair mini! **Suggested Brand** * 1 skein Keenan Hand Dyed Yarn Superwash Sock 75% superwash merino wool, 25% nylon 423 m (463 yds) per 100 g shown in colour Keenan * 5 mini skeins Keenan Hand Dyed Yarn Sock Yarn 75% superwash wool, 25% nylon 84 m (92 yds) per 20 g shown in colourway Purple Aesthetic *Note* All yardage was used for the sample - please ensure that you have enough! **Needles** * 4 mm (US 6) 80 cm (32”) circs or size needed to obtain gauge **Other Materials** * tapestry needle or teeny crochet hook * 1 ring stitch marker * 3 removable stitch markers [1]: https://keenanyarn.com/
