Huacachina is an oasis in the middle of one of the dryest deserts in the world. The small Peruvian lagoon is surrounded by bars and clubs, and has increasingly become a launch point for adventurous sandboarders! This fun three-color shawl takes a traditional half-pi shape and adds in short row elements to stretch the shawl in an wavy an undulating fashion, not unlike the many mirages you see when visiting Huacachina. Choose any two funky colored fingering weight skeins, and one skein of your favorite mohair and get knitting! If mohair isn't your style, just grab another fingering weight skein of your choice!MeasurementsDepth: 23" (58 cm)Length Along Top Edge: 70" (178 cm)YarnSuperstition by Forbidden Fiber Co (75% Merino; 25% Nylon; 3.5 oz [100 g]; 435 yds [398 m]; Fingering Weight) In C1: Electric - Approx 88 g (3.1 oz); 382 yds (349 m) required C2: Jewelry Boss - Approx. 98 g (3.4 oz); 425 yds (389 m) required C3: Fairytale by Happiness Yarn Co (70% kid mohair, 30% mulberry silk; 1.75 oz [50 g], 459 yds (420 m; Lace Weight) in Blaze (Approx 22 g (0.77 oz); 201 yds (184 m) requiredNeedlesUS 5 (3.75 mm) circular needle, or size to obtain gauge at least 40" (102 cm) long Notions Tapestry needle, stitch markers (2) Gauge24 sts / 36 rows = 4" / 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch using US 5 (5.5 mm) after wet blockingExact gauge is not critical, but because the shawl requires nearly the entire yardage of each color, deviation from the gauge will affect the size of the shawl and yarn requirements.Techniques UsedGarter tab cast-on, standard increases/decreases, W&T short rows, basic lace Additional NotesPattern is written out and was professionally technical edited by Emily at knit3together, and was test knit by Ravelry users TheRetiredHooker, hexe1isora, Sarahsnub, and Anuw.
