The website that previously hosted this has dropped all of my old patterns. They are currently unavailable, but I may reissue them at another time.

I used #6 needles and Dream in Color Yarn’s Dream Club October 2011. 52% Scott’s Ranch Kid Mohair, 48% Merino Wool, 100 grams is about 410 yards. The finished shawl weighs 97 grams. So, you should need about 398 yards of fingering-weight yarn for this project. Most skeins of sock yarn would work very well, I think.

I blocked the shawlette with an intensity that would, under other circumstances, be construed as extreme dislike and it ended up being about 50 inches wide and 17 inches deep in the middle. The careful observer will see that there are more points on the shawl than it truly deserves. Those are added purely in the blocking stage. Instead of threading a blocking wire through every row of the outer edge to make it nice and smooth, I chose points to pull on and simply pinned them out as far as they would stretch. In other words, this might really be an example of either creative blocking or an extreme example of very poorly done blocking. You may choose. I think it’s creative.

The first and last stitches are uncharted. The garter stitch border is 1 stitch wide on each side - so simply knit the first and last stitch of every row.
