The Yamdrok Shawl is part of the Tibetan Euphony collection designed by Valentina Cosciani for mYak.

A unique asymmetric shawl worked from the top down. The first section is simply knit in striped garter stitch. The following section is worked in lace and shaped into a wedge using short rows. The shawl is completed with a simple garter border.

Finished Measurement:
194 cm – 76¼” wide along the top edge and 42 cm – 16½” deep at the center.

First colour (FC) – 1 skein; sample knit in Petrol colorway
Second colour (SC) – 1 skein; sample knit in Emerald colorway

Suggested Needles:

5 mm – US 8 (optional, used for the final bind-off) with an 80 cm – 32” or longer cable.

Notions:
Tapestry needle and scissors
Pins and a tape measure for blocking

Gauge:

Gauge is not critical for this shawl. However, aggressive final blocking is essential in order to achieve the full suggested length and to allow the lace stitches to open up.
