Product Details

Barmah is an Australian Aboriginal word meaning “meeting place”. I felt this was an apt name for this shawl with its trio of colours meeting along the way. Barmah knits up quickly in a DK weight yarn, for a cosy and satisfying project. Worked from the top down, the repeats are easily adjusted to make the most of your yardage. Choose 3 colours from the same family for an ombre effect, or go wild and create a technicolour dream-version.

Suitable for advanced beginner knitters.

YARN DK weight / 8 ply, Colours A and B (CA, CB) 210 yds / 192m per colour, Colour C (CC) 185 yds / 170m

Samples shown in: Madelinetosh DK Twist (100% merino, 250 yds / 229m per 100 g skein), Gossamer, Night Bloom & Purple Basil.

Suggested substitutes are shown below.

GAUGE 15 sts and 36 rows = 4” / 10cm in garter st. (blocked)

Gauge is not crucial for this project; however, variations in gauge will affect yardage and final dimensions
