Fieldway Shawl

Fieldway is a light and airy shawl inspired by the long walks in Sonoma in the summer. This shawl takes advantage of elongated triangular shaping, allowing you to achieve a generous wingspan with **just one full skein and a mini**. It’s a perfect stash-busting project that results in a wide, flowing, and easy-to-wear accessory. Fieldway features a rhythmic mix of geometric lace, crossed stitches, and purl ridges. It is worked from the top down and can be adjusted for a different yardage simply by choosing when to stop at the final lace stripe. Let the colors play. Let the stitches sing. And let Fieldway take you on a walk through sunlit California — no matter where you are ♡ **Yarn** - Fingering weight yarn, MC : 437yds / 400m, CC: 80yds / 73m - Sample shawl: SilkYak from Playful Day Yarns (80% extrafine sw merino, 10% yak, 10% silk; 3.5oz / 100g, 437yds / 400m); MC: Angela's Ice Cream, 1 skein; CC: Pink, 1 mini skein (0.7oz / 20g, 87yds / 80m) **Needles and Gauge** - US 4 / 3.5mm needles on a long cable or the size needed to obtain gauge below - 24 sts and 36 rows in 4" / 10cm in stockinette stitch, unblocked - 19 sts and 30 rows in 4" / 10cm in stockinette stitch, blocked - Stitch patterns of this shawl require assertive blocking **Size** - Wingspan 71" / 180cm + tassels - Width at the widest point 23.6" / 60cm **Construction** - The shawl is knit flat with elongated triangular shaping. Positioning of increases creates a piece with longer tips and narrower middle compared to a classic triangular shawl. - The shawl starts with a garter tab which flows into garter edging - the first and last 3sts of each row are worked in garter stitch. - The pattern features several stitch patterns: single and double purl ridges, stockinette, simple lace, crossed stitches, and chevron lace. - The final stripe (chevron lace) can be knitted to any desired width. It also creates a naturally wavy edge that can then be accentuated in blocking.
