One skein Fresh From the Cauldron MCN Sock (80% Merino/10% Cashmere/10% Nylon), 365 yards/334 meters, 115 grams/4.06 ounces. 3.75mm circular needle, 24”/60cm or longer, or size needed to obtain gauge. Stitch markers. Blocking pins and/or wires.
Measurements ♦ ♦

22 stitches and 24 rows = 4”/10cm in lace pattern after blocking. Shawl knit to pattern and gauge is 42” wide and 20” long at center and used approximately 330 yards/302 meters of yarn. Size is easily adjustable by working more or less repeats of the body pattern. Gauge is not crucial for this project but changes in yarn, needle size and number of pattern repeats will affect both the yardage requirements and the finished size of the shawl.
