Bocce Shawl by Nancy Whitman

Inspired by a woven hat, Bocce’s design reinterprets the weaving pattern with slip stitches for the warp threads and stripes for the weft threads. Starting with a garter stitch tab, two-row stripes are broken up by blocks of three slipped stitches. Six stitches are added on every right side row causing the shawl to grow more quickly in width than in depth. You have a choice of two border options - plain or with points. Bocce can be knit with as many as ten contrast colors or as few as one, making it great for stash busting.
Note on yardage for C1-C5: The five contrast colors require 10-15 grams each of tosh merino light. The test knitters and I had surprising results when weighing yarn. Contrary to expectations, C5 required fewer 5 fewer grams than C3. This is attributable to the fact that most scales have an error margin of 5 grams. The required yardage above includes a hefty buffer of 15%. You will probably use less, especially on C1-C3.
