A Bolide is another term for an exceptionally bright meteor, or one that explodes in the atmosphere or is referred to as a large crater forming body. The Bolide Shawl is inspired by such a meteor, bright and shining near its end. Marled throughout by holding two strands of fingering weight yarn together with the option to knit with a single strand of DK weight yarn. The Bolide Shawl is knit in the shape of a boomerang, casting on at a point and increasing on one side every 2 rows to create an arched shape.

Designed with and for the Mass Extinction Countdown by Yarnaceous Fibers. The Bolide Shawl is perfect for using a fade in fingering weight or dk weight yarns, a single tonal or marling together full skeins in a longer fade.

Instructions include charts to track color changes, stitch counts and track repeats.
