CiriDesigned by Rachel BrockmanThere is so much to love about the Ciri shawl. Stripes and a delicate lace pattern play beautifully together, and the picot trim adds just a touch of romance. Knit in Ravello – a dreamy blend of cotton, merino, and recycled cashmere – this piece is appropriate for every season. The fabric drapes beautifully thanks to the loose gauge. You won’t be able to resist wrapping this generously-sized shawl around your neck and shoulders.SIZESOne SizeFINISHED MEASUREMENTSWidth (at widest point): 50¾”Length: 92¾”MATERIALSFibra Natura Ravello (75% cotton, 16% extra fine merino, 9% recycled cashmere; 50g/207 yds) • 108 Tuscan Pepper (MC) – 5 balls • 104 Soft Clay (CC) – 2 ballsNeedle: US Size 5 (3.75 mm) 24” circular or longer (to accommodate large number of sts) or size needed to obtain gaugeHook: US F/5 (3.75 mm) (for Picot Trim)Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch markersGAUGE19 sts x 26 rows = 4” in Lace patt19 sts x 38 rows = 4” in garter stSave time, check your gauge.PATTERN NOTESThis boomerang-shaped shawl is worked on the bias, beginning with the smallest point.
