Zumbrella

✨ **Launch weekend special: Get Zumbrella at 15% off from August 1st–2nd!** ✨ Meet **Zumbrella** — a spiraling, leaf-fringed shawl that curls in on itself like a little garden caught mid-bloom. Four crescent-shaped modules build outward from the center, each one framed with a row of playful, dimensional leaves along the outer edge. **Zumbrella** was originally designed for **[Dibadu Funnies Simply Delicate][1]**, worked with two strands held together to create a fingering weight fabric — but the pattern works beautifully with any yarn weight you love. There's no need to knit or calculate a gauge swatch; simply choose a needle that gives your fabric a nice drape. Four versions in one pattern: Petite shawlette — Module A only Shawlette — Modules A + B Shawl — Modules A + B + C Large shawl — all four modules, A through D Every module is knitted directly onto the selvedge stitches of the previous one, so there is no seaming involved. The leaves are picked up along the outer edge and worked as you go. I knitted two versions of **Zumbrella**: Version 1 — **[Dibadu Funnies Simply Delicate][2]** Lila I for Modules A + C, Lila II for Modules B + D, with Grün I and Grün II for the leaves. I used a little over 3.5oz/100g of the leaf yarn. Finished measurements: 54.5"/138cm wingspan, 9"/23cm depth Version 2 — **[Schoppel Zauberball Cotton][3]** "Arbeiterklasse" for the modules and "Frühlingsanfang" for the leaves. Finished measurements: 63.5"/161cm wingspan, 16.5"/27cm depth **Yarn Requirements** for fingering yarn - provided your swatch matches mine: **Large**, all 4 modules + leaves: Yarn A (modules A + C): 438yds/400m — 3.5oz/100g Yarn B (modules B + D): 438yds/400m — 3.5oz/100g Yarn C (leaves): 464yds/424m — 3.74oz/106g **Medium**, 3 modules + leaves Yarn A (modules A + C): 438yds/400m — 3.5oz/100g Yarn B (module B): 158yds/144m — 1.41oz/40g Yarn C (leaves): 350yds/320m — 2.82oz/80g **Small**, 2 modules + leaves Yarn A (module A): 150yds/136m — 1.2oz/34g Yarn B (module B): 158yds/144m — 1.41oz/40g Yarn C (leaves): 250yds/228m — 2.01oz/57g **Petite**, 1 module + leaves Yarn A (module A): 150yds/136m — 1.2oz/34g Yarn C (leaves): 158yds/144m — 1.23oz/36g Swatch: 12 sts x 28 rows = 5cm/2" in garter stitch. If your swatch matches mine, the above yardage will be a reliable guide for your project. If your gauge is different, or if you knit with a different yarn weight, your actual yarn consumption may vary — knitters with a looser gauge in particular may want to plan for a bit of extra yarn, especially for the leaves. **Needles**: US 2–3mm, 40" circular **Notions**: Crochet hook B/2.25mm, safety pin stitch markers **Techniques**: Short rows with wraps, crochet cast-on (plus an alternative crochet cast-on), and knitting a stitch together with a selvedge stitch — all covered in step-by-step **photo tutorials** at the end of the pattern **Instructions: Provided in both written and charted form** For pattern support, feel free to reach out anytime at ursamajorknits@gmail.com — I'm always happy to help!
