Product Details
Xerophyte is a crescent-shaped shawl dotted with mini-bobbles and edged with a ribbed border. The shawl’s textures and gently-scalloped border contrast soft rounded shapes with crisp geometry, and echo the prickle-studded lobes of prickly pear cacti. Xerophyte takes its name from the class of plants adapted to conserve or store water, which includes cacti and succulents.
Skills & Techniques:
- The shawl is worked from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast on
- The mini-bobbles are simple to work and require no turning
- The instructions are provided in written form only.
Materials Needed:
- 2 skeins of A Verb For Keeping Warm Floating (70% superfine alpaca, 20% silk, 10% cashmere; 437yds/400m per 100g skein), or 860yds/786m of fingering-weight yarn. Sample colourway: ‘Lamb’s Ear’
- US 6 / 4mm circular needles (or needle size that gives you the right gauge)
- 12 stitch markers, a needle for weaving in the ends, and blocking pins and wires (optional but recommended).
