Product Details

Before I was born, my mother rode an ostrich and my father was too afraid. This was a surprisingly formative part of my childhood as it leant a permanent shape to my vision of the exotic, bravery and gender.

 

SIZE 68” long by 22 1/2” tall

MATERIALS  Mrs Crosby Loves to Play Train Case [55% merino, 15% nylon, 30% outlast viscose; 31/2oz/100g; 425 yd/388m balls]; color Simone, 2 skeins

1 US #6/4.00mm 32 inch circular needle  Tapestry needle, stitch markers (4)

GAUGE  18 sts/28 rows = 4” in stockinette stitch after blocking

One chart repeat is 4” tall by 41/4” wide after blocking. Gauge is not critical but may affect yardage.

PATTERN NOTES  The length of this shawl is cast on and worked all in one piece from the bottom up. Shaping is worked by binding off two full pattern repeats worth of stitches. It is very important to use the recommended cast on and bind off to ensure a stretchy edge for blocking.
