Gauge need not be strictly followed, but a significantly larger gauge will affect the amount of yarn needed. **Sizes** Small(Large) Wingspan: 154cm / 61in Depth: 73cm / 29in **Pattern notes** The contrasting stripes in this shawl are worked on only half a row at a time using the intarsia technique. With intarsia, you work with one colour at a time, and there is no carrying of unused colours in floats behind the work. This pattern uses very simple intarsia and is suitable as a first intarsia project. This shawl is worked top down from the center. One side is entirely garter stitch, while the other is a variation of traditional Old Shale lace. Bands of contrast bounce back and forth between the two sides, finishing with a contrasting border. Work it exactly as written, or size it as you go, jumping to the border when the piece is the size you want.
