Love Potion No. IX
She is reminded of their wedding day 25 years ago. She decides to knit a shawl in three colors. Black for him, white for her, and red for the love they share.
Size:
Wingspan (tip to tip): 60” / 152.5cm;
Depth (at center): 34” / 86cm
Materials
Yarn:
Malabrigo Sock (Pure Superwash Merino Wool; 3.5oz, 440 yds per skein), or any fingering weight yarn, 3 colors, 989 yds total
Approximate yardage:
MC (boticelli red) - 410 yds
CC1 (black) - 337 yds
CC2 (natural) - 242 yds
I recommend that you add an additional 50 yards to the actual yardage used as some knitters have run short.
Please note that the yarn used is a light fingering weight. Substituting a fingering (4-ply) yarn will likely require more yardage.
Needles:
US 4 / 3.50mm circular, 32” / 80cm or longer
US 4 / 3.50mm DPNs (optional)
Adjust needle size as needed to obtain gauge.
Gauge:
22 sts and 32 rows = 4” / 10cm in garter stitch
Supplies: stitch markers, rust-proof pins for blocking, crochet hook
Skill Level: Intermediate
Basic knitting skills, garter stitch, simple color changes, picking up stitches
