Filoli Shawl

Filoli Shawl offers the familiar comfort of a cozy triangular wrap spiced up with interesting stitch patterns. It is named after a beautiful historic house and garden in the SF Bay Area and is a sister project to [Filoli Cowl][1]. The shawl features two types of mosaic patterns and garter stitch. All colorwork requires working with **just one color per row** and the whole shawl is almost completely worked with knit and slipped stitches - **very little purling**, yay! This asymmetric piece is knit flat from the tip and shaped with increases along one side. Due to this construction, the length of the shawl is easily **adjustable to fit the available yardage** - just knit until you run out of yarn. The edges are polished with built-in i-cord that is continued in the two-color i-cord bind off, video tutorial provided. Colors are carried along the edge and hidden in the i-cord edging, so there's **no yarn cutting** and just a couple of ends to weave in. Mosaic stitch patterns are both charted and written out. **Yarn** - Fingering weight yarn in two colors, 450 (900)yds / 410 (820)m or 1 (2) 100g skeins each - Use all available yardage by working fewer / more pattern repeats - Large sample yarn: Merino Super Sock by La Bien Aimee (75% sw merino, 25% nylon, 465yds / 425m, 3.5oz / 100g) in colors Blanc (off-white) and Aimee's Shawl (light pink) - Small sample yarn: Glitter Fingering Minis by Peninsula Yarn (75% superwash merino, 20% nylon, 5% gold stellina, 5 mini skeins, 87yds / 80m, 0.7oz / 20g each) in colors Fuchsia Ombré and Teal Ombré **Needles and Gauge** - US 2 / 2.75mm straight or circular needles - 25 sts and 52 rows in 4" / 10cm in garter stitch, unblocked - 23 sts and 47 rows in 4" / 10cm in garter stitch, blocked - Swatch to determine the needle size that helps to fit the gauge - Although gauge is not crucial for this pattern, note that differences in it will affect the stitch definition, drape, and size of the shawl **Size** - Width at the deepest point 23.5 (33.5)" / 60 (85)cm - Wingspan (the longest measurement from tip to tip) 49 (73)" / 125 (185)cm - Will change if adjustments to yardage and / or gauge are made - Shown in sizes Large (light pink + off-white) and Small (teal + pink ombré) **Construction** - The shawl is worked flat starting from the tip. It is shaped with increases worked on the right side along one edge. - The fabric is composed of two types of mosaic / slipped stitch patterns and garter stitch. - All patterns are worked with the built-in i-cord edge at the beginning and end of each row. - The piece is finished with two-color i-cord bind off. - Optional tassels can be added to polish off the tips of the shawl.
