DETAILS
This shawl is all about texture, squish and the movement of color. Watching the colors move and change was mesmerizing, and I finished the shawl long before I was ready to, because I just could not set it down! You can absolutely play with different color options, and I share some ideas in the pattern, but don’t be afraid to make it your own! Knit it in 1 color or 6! Use up some stash, colorblock or stripe! It is knit flat, sideways, with increasing along one edge to create an asymmetrical triangle.

SIZES
One size that is easily adjusted to be the best size for you! (Please note that the size you choose to knit will alter the amount of yarn needed.)

Wingspan: 89”/226 cm

These are just approximations. Total yarn usage will depend on the yarn you use (fiber content, ply, etc.), your personal gauge, and any modifications you may make.

SUGGESTED YARN
For this shawl I combined 2 three-skein fade sets of yarn that shift from color to color in each and every skein. I note in the pattern some other ideas for using more or less colors. This worsted weight yarn creates an incredibly squishy and generously sized shawl to wrap up in!

Due to the expansive and squishy nature of Fishermen’s Rib, it is necessary to knit it on smaller needles then you may typically choose for this weight of yarn.
(Use the needle size you need to achieve gauge.)
