Castellaro shawl

Castellaro shawl is light and aerie shawl, perfect for cold summer evening and spring.

The shawl is worked from the center bottom up. Stitches are increased at each side on every other row, to create a slightly rounded triangle shape. I would say that this shawl is a baby between crescent shape and triangle shape shawls. The shawl is finished with I cord bind off.

Materials Yarn: Fingering weight yarn 400 m in 100g. In the sample used Filpucci 73% linen, 27% cotton. Approx. 787 yards, (720 m), 180 g. Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm) needles for the main body of the shawl. US 7 (4.5 mm) needles for I cord bind off. Other notions: Tapestry needle, stitch markers, blocking pins, or wires.

Gauge 16 sts and 40 rows 4” (10cm) in garter st on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles after blocking. Gauge is not critical for this project, but differences will affect your yardage requirements and the finished size.
