The Fairy Glen Shawl

Job type Test knit
Description

My first shawl design is a smaller crescent shaped shawl knit in a simple, easy to remember garter stitch lace with increases on the right and wrong side. Once the lace repeats are completed you'll knit on more garter stitch lace while binding off at the same time.

Yarn: Fingering weight

Yardage: Approximately 400 - 450 yards (366 - 411 meters)

Shown in: JaggerSpun Heather, 100% wool, 100g, 498 yards, Color Leaf

Needles: US 5 (3.75mm) circular in 40″ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge. Choose a larger size needle for a largershawl. Please note, using a larger needle will require more yarn.

Notions: Tapestry needle

Gauge: 16 st & 44 rows = 4" (10cm) in garter stitch lace pattern. Gauge can be flexible as larger needles
can be used to achieve a larger shawl

Finished Measurements: 68" long & 14" deep
