My husband and I met in Monterey, California. One of our favorite memories is driving along the California coast along the famous Highway 1 from Monterey to Big Sur. Seven years later, we had the opportunity to return to Monterey for a week and I brought this shawl along. It was just the perfect size to keep the chill in the spring air at bay. This triangular shawl is mostly garter and stockinette stitch and ends with some fun mosaic work! The pattern works best with two high-contrast yarns.Sizing and DimensionsOne size: 50” (127 cm) wingspan and 25” (64 cm) depth, measured after blockingGauge19 Sts / 33 Rows = 4” (10 cm) in Stockinette StitchExact gauge is not critical, but because the shawl requires nearly the entire skein of the MC color, deviation from the gauge will affect the size of the shawl and yarn requirements. The MC yardage listed includes a 10% buffer, but very loose knitters may still require more yarn than listedRecommended Yarn (MC) Solstice, “Luna Sock” (80% Superwash Merino, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon) Fingering wt, 430 yds (393 m), 4.0 oz (115 g) in Alki’s Fancy Brew (Approx. 425 yds (389 m) needed) (CC) Lorna’s Laces, “Solemate” (55% Superwash Merino, 15% Nylon, 30% Outlast Viscose) Fingering wt, 425 yds (389 m), 3.5 oz (100 g) in 716 Calgary (Approx 212 yds (193 m) needed) Or similar weight yarn to achieve gaugeNeedlesUS4 (3.5 mm) circular needle, or size to obtain gauge, 40” (102 cm) or longerUS5 (3.75 mm) circular needle, or size to obtain gauge, 40” (102 cm) or longerNotionsTapestry needleRow counter (optional)Stitch markers (42 including 4 unique markers)Pattern NotesThis pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit to ensure a quality product.
