Sleeping Satellite Shawl

Sleeping Satellite is a crescent-shaped, brioche lace shawl. Adella gifted me a mega-skein of Wax Bean in Moonshine to see what I could do with it. I loved the idea of a one-skein shawl, and given the colorway, I decided the lunar landscape would be an interesting source of inspiration. After knitting the shawl in Moonshine, I thought a larger size shawl would be great, with more repeats of the section mimicking the moon’s craters. So what should I make the larger version out of? Adella had just done a run of Burgundy Beam, and I thought that would make a beautiful blood moon version of Sleeping Satellite. **Yarn** LolaBean Yarn Co Wax Bean (80% superwash merino wool / 20% silk) (150 g, 600 yards) Fingering-weight (CYC #1): 1 skein in Moonshine for small size, 2 skeins in Burgundy Beam for large size. **Needles** 4.0 mm (US 6) circular needle or size needed to obtain gauge or appropriate for your yarn. **Notions** Tapestry needle. (Optional: stitch markers.) **Gauge** Gauge is provided so you can achieve a similar-sized shawl to the one shown here, and will have enough yarn to complete the project. (The shawl was designed to use approximately 90% of the yarn called for.) Gauge is worked over brioche rib and is heavily blocked. 25 stitches = 4" 40 rows = 4" **Notes** While stitch markers are not absolutely required, I found them extremely helpful to mark the yarnover placement. For the large shawl, the attached garter band took approximately 60 yards (15g of Wax Bean). [1]: https://www.bvmrf.org/mission-blue-skies
