This pattern comes with a “Buy 2, get 3” Knitathon discount from Saturday March 30 to Sunday April 7!

If you buy Arabian Nights, CDCO23 and Vesty Thing, you only pay for 2 patterns; 86 dkr.

Glowing colors, long lines and a border with a striking stitch pattern makes this shawl so very special. It is a long shawl, made to wrap around your neck or your upper body for warmth and beauty. You need a specially dyed yarn for the border; a yarn created for Assigned Pooling.

Assigned Pooling is a technique created by Dawn Barker of Barker Wool, where you assign a special stitch pattern to the areas of pooling.

This shawl is probably not the perfect First Project. You will need to be able to “read” your knitting, and also to adjust the stitch pattern on the go. If you are comfortable doing that, this is such an engaging knit!

Sample is knit in Yak/silk from A Knitters World: https://www.aknittersworld.dk/collections/yak in the following colorways:
C1 Black Wolf
C2 Undyed dark yak
F3 Guld og Grønne Skove
F4 Assigned Pooling in Black Wolf & Guld og Grønne Skove

Suggested needles
3.5 mm circular, 80 cm

Gauge
26 stitches x 36 rows in garter = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches after blocking.

Note: This is a shawl. Gauge is not terribly important – find a fabric you enjoy and go with that! I do recommend a rather loose gauge to get a beautiful drape. Also be aware that yardage may change with a different gauge!

If your edges turn out to be too tight
If your edges turn out to be too tight, try to slip the first stitch on every row, and then do a yarn over. When you come back to the yarn over on the next row, just let it fall off the needle. This will add a little more stretch to your edges.
