Shifa Shawl
By zaneteknits
Product Description
Difficulty: Intermediate. Ability to read lace charts is required.
Finished size: Your choice.
Yarn: Any weight works. This shawl is designed to grow for as long as you want it to, so yardage is entirely up to you. Fingering weight knits up a lacy, airy shawl; sport or DK makes a classic lightweight wrap; worsted and up gives you a cosy, textured wrap.
Gauge: Gauge is not critical for this shawl but it will affect the shawl’s final size and drape. Choose a needle 1–2 sizes larger than your yarn band suggests for the airy, drapey fabric that lace shawls want. Block your swatch the same way you plan to block the shawl and let it fully dry before evaluating.
Gauge of the sample is 15 sts & 24 rows = 10 cm / 4” in chart pattern.
Suggested needles: A needle 1–2 sizes larger than your yarn label suggests. Circulars with sharp tips, 60–100 cm / 24–40″ long, recommended.
The needle size used in the sample was 5.5 mm (US 9).
