Crossed Paths
A rectangle shawl/wrap knitted in one piece with
written and charted instructions.
Finished size is 44cm/17ins wide and 137cm/54ins length. Size is easily adjustable but if larger than stated it will require more yarn.
Materials
4mm/US 6 circular needle or a pair of 4mm/US 6 straight needles. Whichever is your preference.
Yarn used in the photos is 100% Flagstaff Alpaca 4ply/fingering weight approximately 450m per skein. You need 2 skeins.
1 cable needle.
4 stitch markers.
Yarn needle for sewing in ends.
A blocking mat and pins for blocking.
Note - This shawl can easily be changed to other 4ply/fingering weight yarns. Be aware though of the yardage needed. To get the most out of your yarn weigh it before starting and weigh it again after finishing the first rib band. This will help you if you want to get more length by doing more pattern repeats in the body of the pattern before doing the end rib border, thus using as much of your yarn as possible.
