A shawl inspired by the texture and colors of my hometown- olive trees, hazelnut bushes, and yellow grass. As classic, timeless, and fun to knit as it gets. This asymmetric triangular shawl is knit in an addictive combination of garter stitch and fisherman’s rib.

I love complicated shawl designs! But I always end up picking up simpler designs to wear every day. The finished piece looks like something in between a scarf and a wrap in a fantastically textured fabric.

MEASUREMENTS
Approximately 150 cm (60”) wingspan along top edge and 60 cm (24”) width.
Different measurements can be achieved by altering yarn weight and/or needle size(s).

YARN
Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co, Hearth DK (50% BFL/50% Jacob) 100g (240m).
I used 3 skeins to knit my sample in the colorway ‘Natural’.

YARDAGE
Approx. 720 meters of DK-weight yarn.

NEEDLES
— 4.5 mm (US7) circular needle, cable length of at least 60 cm / 24”
DPNs might come in handy for the CO.

GAUGE

Gauge is not crucial for this project but it will affect the finished measurements and yardage.
