After knitting a shawl, that had too many yarn ends to hide, I wanted to knit something more simple. So of course I chose 4 colors (previous had only 3) to work with. But this time color switches were done differently and I did have less yarn ends to hide. Working name for this one was “Fading Orange”, but after I finished and blocked it, I knew I will name this pattern “Candy Corn”. I’ve never had any, but I’ve seen pictures and this color combination reminded me of those candies.

SAMPLE SHAWL:
100% wool and merino
26/2-30/2 1300m-1500m/100g
30g of White, 30g of Safran, 17g of Gold Orange and 6g of Erdbeer
83g of yarn
6 mm and 3.5 mm needles
3374 9-ply nupps
165 x 77 cm

Pattern of shawl is charted and easy to follow. Shawl gets its shape by decreasing method – you start with bunch of a stitches (edge lace) and decrease stitches as instructed.

Take it into consideration that final result will depend on yarn weight, size of needles and your knitting gauge.
