Lysandre

The Lysandre is a shawl that is visually striking with a geometrical design, enriched with organic colours that enhance its natural appeal. It is knitted flat using the mosaic technique, allowing each row to be worked with a single strand of yarn. While this technique creates a beautiful and intricate texture, it also results in many ends to weave in—so be kind to your future self and weave some as you go. With its diamond-shaped construction, the shawl is designed to fold elegantly before wrapping around your neck or shoulders, creating a plush, cosy, and extra-comfortable fabric. [Curated kits to knit this shawl are available here.][2] **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** **Width:** 72” / 180 cm **Height:** 132” / 80 cm **YARN** Weight: fingering ❖ Colour A (Dark Green): 164 yd / 150 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour B (Medium Brown): 150 yd / 137 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour C (Dark Grey): 137 yd / 125 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour D (Pale Grey): 169 yd /154 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour E (Black): 146 yd / 133 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour F (White): 119 yd /108 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour G (Beige):169 yd / 154 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour H (Medium Green): 132 yd / 121 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour I (Medium Grey): 137 yd / 125 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager ❖ Colour J (Dark Brown): 160 yd / 146 m, or 1 ball of Merilin from Isager Sample shown in Merilin from Isager (80% Wool, 20% Flax, non-superwash; 228 yd / 208 m per 50 g ball) in the “37s” (Colour A), “9” (Colour B), “30” (Colour C), “3s” (Colour D), “30s” (Colour E), “0 Eco” (Colour F), “7s” (Colour G), “37” (Colour H), “4s” (Colour I) and “9s” (Colour J) colourways. **NEEDLES** ❖ US 5 / 3.75 mm circular needles, 60” / 150 cm in length, or size needed to match gauge **GAUGE** ❖ 27 stitches and 31 rows = 4” / 10 cm in mosaic pattern, worked flat, blocked **TOOLS** ❖ Tapestry needle *Version française disponible.* [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/les-garcons [2]: https://boutiquelesgarcons.com/collections/maxim-cyr
