Approximate finished dimensions: Inside curved edge, 58”/ 145 cm; outside curved edge, 80”/ 200 cm; short (end) edge, 32”/ 80 cm.

Yarn: You will need two 100-g skeins of fingering/ sock yarn. The sample was made with Jilly and Kiddles Fancy Sock, an 85% merino wool/15% nylon blend with 437 yards per 100 grams.. You can choose two colors that are close in tone, or colors that contrast - this design works both ways. Solid/ tonal colors will let you see the stitch patterns and openwork the most. Gently speckled or variegated yarns also work well, but a colorway with intense color changes will tend to obscure the stitch patterns.

Gauge: 22 stitches and 26 rows to 4”/ 10 cm in stockinette stitch. If your gauge differs, it will affect the size of your finished shawl and the amount of yarn used.

Needles: US #9/5.5 mm, or size needed to achieve gauge.

Dimensiones Finales aproximadas: Después de un no muy agresivo ahormado, medida curva interior 58”/ 145 cm; borde curva exterior, 80”/ 200 cm; borde corto (el final), 32”/ 80 cm.

Lana: necesitarás una madeja de 100grs de grosor fingering / sock yarn. La muestra está hecha con Jilly and Kiddles Fancy Sock en “Easy Breezy,” un color teal tonal y “Hint of Spring,” un tonal verde. Puedes elegir dos colores cercanos en tono, o colores contrastantes, este diseño funcionará de las dos maneras. Colores sólidos/ tonales mostrarán mejor los puntos y el calado. Los colores jaspeados y pinteados suaves también funcionan bien pero un color con intensos cambios de color puede oscurecer los putos del patrón.

Tensión: 22 pts y 26 vueltas igual a 4”/ 10 cm en pto jersey ahormado. La tension no es importante, except si difiere mucho, ya que puede afectar el tamaño de el chal final y la cantidad de lana que usarás.

Agujas: n° US #9/ 5.5 mm, o el tamaño necesario para obtener la tensión. Puedes comenzar con agujas rectas o cualquier largo de circulares, pero a medida que avanzas en el chal, si quieres estirar los pts, necesitarás usar una aguja de al menos 48”/ 120 cm de largo de cable.
