A companion piece to the Lady Whistledown Cowl, the shawl version is the kind of knit you can keep working until you run out of yarn. Easy enough for tv-knitting, but interesting enough to make you want to do just one more row, the shawl version here changes up the color order of the dip stitch pattern for a fun effect.

Knit up in a light, woolenspun DK weight yarn, the shawl is both lofty and warm--and pretty easy to knit. Great for working on while you binge watch Bridgerton or anything else.

If you wish to substitute for a different yarn, be aware that the Rowan Felted Tweed is woolenspun rather than worsted spun. This results in a much loftier fabric at the pattern’s gauge than otherwise. Using a typical, superwash merino DK weight may result in a much heavier shawl (ask me how I know….).

Materials:
4 skeins of Rowan Felted Tweed Colours (191 yds/50 g, shown in Jade) in the Main Color (MC) and
4 skeins of Rowan Felted Tweed (191 yds/50 g, shown in French Mustard) in the Contrasting Color (CC), or
approximately 740 yds of the MC and 725 yds of the CC in DK/light worsted weight yarn.
(Note that Rowan Felted Tweed Colours in Chartreuse can be substituted easily. The shades are nearly the same.)
A 32” size 6 (4 mm) circular needle or size needle required to achieve gauge,
A tapestry needle for weaving loose ends
