Longstream is a multi-technique shawl, that I designed for you to try out different techniques. You could see it as a way to improve your skills as you go, and at the same time get something beautiful to wear afterwards.
The techniques involved are domino knitting, bubbles, smocking, two-colour brioche and lace from a chart.

You could use any fingering weight yarn (400 m / 100 g) for this shawl, but I would definitely recommend not knitting this shawl in a cotton or cotton blend, go for wool ;)

I used around 420 m of MC and 260 m of CC. I usually find that other knitters need more yarn than I do for a project, so make sure you have enough yarn.


Longstream er et multiteknik sjal, som jeg har designet for at du kan få øvet forskellige teknikker. Du kan jo se det som en måde at få øget mængden af værktøj i din strikkeværktøjskasse, og samtidig ende op med noget smukt at gå med efterfølgende.

Sjalet er designet til garn i strømpegarnstykkelse. Du vælger selv garnet, men jeg vil ikke anbefale bomuld eller bomuldsblandinger, find noget uldent ;) Det har den bedste elasticitet, når man øver.

Jeg brugte ca 420 m af bundfarven og ca 260m af kontrastfarven, da jeg strikkede sjalet. Jeg har oplevet at mange strikkere bruger mere garn end mig, så sørg for at have nok garn.
