The Article
Magersfontein Lugg confirms that this small shawl, which can be worn in multiple ways, is indeed the genuine article
Yarn
Kate Davies Designs Milarrochy Tweed (70% Wool; 30% Mohair; 100m / 109yds per 25g ball)
A Hirst / Lochan x 5 balls
B Chingly / Thrift x 3 balls
C Thrift / Smirr x 3 balls
Needles and notions
Gauge size needle (100cm length)
Tapestry needle
Wires and pins are strongly recommended to block the shawl to the correct shape and dimensions
Gauge
20 sts and 40 rows to 4 inches over garter stitch worked back and forth. Use 4mm needle as a starting point for swatching.
If you are one of the many knitters who do not swatch for shawls, it is worth checking your gauge after knitting the first wedge: garter stitch is hungry, and you may use signifcantly more yarn if your gauge varies from the one specified.
Size
Finished length (longest edge, blocked): 148cm /58 ¼ in
Finished width (widest point, blocked): 69 cm / 27¼ in
Pattern notes
This simple shawl is worked in a series of short row wedges, with alternating garter-stitch stripes and a neat slipped stitch edging. The resulting shape - something like a tear-drop, Paisley motif, or single wing - sits comfortably on the bias around the neck and shoulders.
