a girl's best friend

For pattern support please go to the questions thread [here][1]. **update 05/20: small wording changes in Danish translation** *a girl's best friend* is a triangular shawl worked flat from the top down. The textured body followed by 2 contrast colored pattern stripes, accented by small garter stitch stripes in a third color and the sportive 3x1 Rib at the edge make this a fun and entertaining knit… a versatile, but special companion for everyday. Pompoms are added at the edge to make it even more special and personal. But tassels or even fringes may be a fantastic option too. Yarn Fingering weight yarn in 3 colors. For the sample, we used: Main color (MC): 70g of Manos del Uruguay Fino (490 yds/448 m per 100 g); shown in color #421 Havisham Contrast color 1 (CC1): 60g of Shalimar yarns Breathless (420 yds/384 m per 100g); shown in color Butterscotch Contrast color 2 (CC2): 95g of Wool of fame Merino Cashmere Mix (399 yds/365 m per 100g); shown in color Taupe Needles US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle, 40” (100 cm) long or size needed to get gauge. Gauge 20 sts x 34 rows = 4 x 4” (10 x 10 cm) in Stockinette stitch on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles after blocking. 19 sts x 32 rows = 4 x 4” (10 x 10 cm) in Teardrop pattern on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles after blocking.

Materials 4 stitch markers, tapestry needle, blocking tools and a fork (for the pompoms). [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/designs-by-isabell-kraemer/3683868/1-25
