It’s been a while since I last published a One Skein Wonder pattern. They’re always a favorite.
Storm uses just one skein of precious fingering weight yarn. It features dramatic dropped stitches and short rows that give this pattern a de-constructed look while also giving you a bigger shawl with the same yardage.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Approx. 64 inches (160 cm) from side to side and 15½“ inches (39 cm) from top to bottom at deepest point (after blocking).

MATERIALS
1 skein of Mechita by Malabrigo (100% superwash merino; 420 yards 386m/100g) or approx. 420 yards (386 m) of fingering weight yarn. The sample was made using colorway Storm.
Needles: US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.
Other notions: Tapestry needle, a split ring st marker, blocking pins or wires.

GAUGE
15.5 st and 32 rows to 4” (10cm) in garter st on US 7 (4.5 mm) needles after blocking.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This shawl is worked from the center top down. Stitches are increased at each side on every row to give it its characteristic crescent shape.
