This shawl is crescent shaped, formed by 5 wedges. Four of the wedges are equal in size, and a center wedge is twice as large as the others. So you will have two same-sized wedges on one side, the center larger wedge, and then two more of the smaller, same-sized wedges on the other wide.

Using this shaping allows you to create a shawl of depth that will curve nicely around the shoulders and stay on more easily…kind of like a hand knit hug.

I designed and knit the sample for this pattern as a Mother’s Day gift for my mother. I celebrate my mother this Mother’s Day for so many reasons … not the least of which is that she has just always been such a wonderful mother.

You will need about 170 grams total fingering weight yarn using anywhere from 1 to 5 colors, and size U.S. 8 circular knitting needles.

There are some fun textures, and the texture stitches used are especially good for blending multiple colors together in the most lovely way.
