Truckee Meadows Shawl (PDF Pattern)
Truckee Meadows Shawl (PDF Pattern)
This shawl was designed for the Sierra Nevada Yarn Crawl 2020. The purchase includes a downloadable PDF knitting pattern to knit the shawl.
Materials:
2 Skeins of Arkaik Fibres Lore Fingering (100g/437yds) - shown in Lucky for Who (C1) & Hangin’ on for Hope (C2) – or - 2 100g skeins of fingering weight yarn with medium drape and very little “bounce” (ie. No nylon) and at least 437 yards per skein, but even better if there is more.
US size 5 – 32 or 40” circular knitting needle (or size needed to obtain gauge.
US size 4 DPN (just one), or needle 1-2 sizes smaller than the needle used for the body of the shawl.
Darning needle for weaving in ends.
Stitch markers (optional)
Finished Measurements:
Approximately 77” along top edge and 21” deep at center after blocking.
Gauge:
Blocked: 17 sts & 38 rows = 4” in garter stitch.
Unblocked: 20 sts & 48 rows = 4” in garter stitch
Note: Almost all of C2 is used. I had just a few grams of yarn left. Be sure to check gauge and go down a needle size if needed. Better to have MORE stitches per 1” (aka. a tighter gauge) than fewer stitches per 1” (looser.) I cannot stress enough how important it is to do a gauge swatch.
