Small stitches scatter across the fabric like distant stars, while brighter zig-zag paths guide the eye through the shawl. As the fabric grows, the stars begin to gather, forming denser constellations that shift and change along the way. <big>**Ariadne’ Crown**</big> This shawl is inspired by a lesser known part of the myth of Ariadne: her story after the labyrinth. Dionysus finds her, loves her, and makes her his wife. He places a crown on her head, and that crown is thrown into the sky, where it begins to stellify into the constellation we know as Corona Borealis. Ariadne becomes a goddess, her crown a constellation, and now a shawl. <big>**Construction**</big> Stellify shawl is started with an i-cord tab, then continued as a normal triangular shawl with lateral increases and central double increases. Lateral i-cords give a finished look with no effort and are perfectly matched with the two-color i-cord BO. The result looks intricate, but the knitting itself is quite easy. Mosaic knitting means working with only one colour at a time, and the pattern includes both charts and written instructions to guide you through every section of the shawl. <hr/> **Sizes:** S, L. **Finished measurements:** Width approx 150 (190) cm / 60 (76)”; height 65 (85) cm / 26 (34)” (shown in size L). <big>**Yarn**</big> *Le Avventure di Ariannna Lana Brogna* (100% Lana Brogna; 200 m/50 g). **MC:** col. Antracite approx 600m (for size L). **CC:** col. Mustard, approx 350 m (for size L). **Note:** *Choose two yarn colors with a good contrast between them. For the best result pick solid or tonal colors.* <big>**Needles**</big> One 80 cm / 32” circular needle (or straight needles if preferred) in size needed to obtain gauge. **Suggested needle size:** 3.25 mm /US 3. <big>**Notions**</big> 2 markers A, 2 markers B, 8\[16\] markers C. Tapestry needle to weave in ends. <big>**Gauge**</big> 24 stitches and 48 rows = 10x10 cm (4”) in mosaic stitch (see page 9), measured after blocking. **Note:** *Gauge is not critical for this project, but can affect yardage and finished measurements.* [1]: https://stats.sender.net/forms/erkRmK/view
