Chain Lakes

> ✩ Place 4 or more of my self-published designs in your cart and you automatically receive 25% off the total price at checkout (the patterns must be purchased in a single transaction and cannot be combined with another sale in my Ravelry store). **Chain Lakes** Chain Lakes is a generously large shawl, with striking colourwork and dashes of easy lace chained together in a modular construction. There is a nice little dip in the neck from the resulting construction to cozily nestle onto your shoulders. All colourwork is charted and worked flat over 5 rows (you're only purling 2 of those rows! Plus the colourwork is broken up into chunks so you’re not doing it all at once). The texture and lace patterning in the wedges is fully written. **Size** 203cm / 80” tip to tip 53cm / 20.75” center depth **Yarn** Reywa Fibers Embrace (100% Tibetan Yak Down; 200 meters / 218 yards in 100 grams) in 1 main colour (MC: Emerald Tea) and 1 contrast colour (CC: Emerald).

Stranded Colourwork: 20 sts / 24 rows to 10cm / 4” using size B needles. **Needles & Notions** The gauges were achieved with the following needles. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking. Size A: 4mm (US 6) needles of varying lengths Size B: 4.5mm (US 7) needles of varying lengths You will also need: spare needles or interchangeable cables for holding sts; stitch markers; removable markers for the mst short rows. ---------------------------------------------------------- Text edited by Susan Hislop (Ravelry: [Sue-Cat](/people/Sue-Cat))
