Laneus shawl

Laneus shawl is a sister design to my Laneus pullover. From Latin “woolly”, it is a crescent shape shawl knit top-down in a sport weight yarn. The design is worked in sections of garter stitch, textured pattern and two sections of floral inlay colourwork.

MC: ca. 135 (75) g of fingering weight yarn held together with 1 strand of lace weight silk-mohair — ca. 75 (42) g or ca. 675 m // 738 yds of any other sport/DK weight yarn or combination of yarns to match the gauge for the full size and 345 m // 410 yds for the small.

CC: ca. 20 m (22) yds of any fluffy loosely spun or unspun contrasting colour yarn for the inlay colourwork.

Gauge: 16 sts & 28 rows in 10 cm (4 in) on 4.5 mm (US 7) needles measured over stockinette stitch worked flat after blocking; 15 sts & 36 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) on 4.5 mm (US 7) needles measured over garter stitch worked flat after blocking.
