Instructions Included:
-- Standard written instructions
-- (Very) High-level schematic
-- I am also experimenting with a new form of instructions that attempts to teach the reader the key construction aspects of the shawl (e.g., feathers, wing shape, etc.) so that they don’t have to look down at the page frequently. It certainly isn’t for everyone, but I hope some folks will find it useful!
Here’s a quick summary of the pattern based on the original sample:
Dimensions:
-- Maximum wingspan: 70 in (178 cm)
-- Depth of wings: 17 in (43 cm)
Yarn Requirements:
-- 800 yards of fingering-weight yarn
-- The sample shown used one entire skein of Blue Brick Manitoulin Merino Sparkle Wooly Mammoth in the Ibis colorway (fingering-weight, 800 yards, 200 grams)
Needles:
-- 3.25 mm (US 3) circular needles (40-inch or larger recommended)
-- 4.5 mm (US 7) straight or circular needles for bind-off
Gauge:
--Gauge for this pattern is not too important as so many of the stitches are slanted, slipped, and cabled in all sorts of directions
--That being said, the linen stitch section between the wings was approximately 28 sts by 56 rows for a 4” by 4” square
