Airlock

*Airlock is a study in space, light, and the breath between moments. Large holes float through the fabric with single purl ridge details, framed by delicate eyelet borders that mark subtle pauses and rhythm. Each stitch is a threshold between presence and absence, a suspended breath in time.* *This shawl celebrates the beauty of what is not there as much as what is. A space to breathe, to wander, to notice the silence and emptiness. Airlock invites you to explore the balance between structure and void, letting the fabric echo the rhythm of air itself.* Airlock designed for specifically **Berlin Knits** festival. **SIZES** **One Size** with 38.25”/97 cm straight edge, 45.25”/115 cm sloped edge, 24.5”/62 cm bind-off edge **YARN** Frida Fuchs, Steppke Single, (100% SW Merino wool; 366 m / 400 yds per 100 g skein), 1 skein, shown in Titanic (special colourway for Berlin Knits) or Urth Yarns, Spiral Grain Sport, (100% SW Merino wool; 180 m / 198 yds per 50 g skein), 2 skeins or LITLG, Singles (100% SW Merino wool; 366 m / 400 yds per 100 g skein), 1 skein, shown in French Lavander **YARDAGE** 350 yds / 320 m of fingering weight yarn **NEEDLES** US 4 / 3.50 mm circulars or straight needles, any length to accommodate stitches; or size needed to obtain correct gauge **NOTIONS** Tapestry needle **GAUGE** 27 sts x 44 rows = 4”/10 cm in garter stitch, blocked.
