Shrinking Charm - “ These (Engorgement) straightforward but surprisingly dangerous charms cause certain things to swell ………” - Miranda Goshawk on this and the Shrinking Charm. ~Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Let’s practice this charm and let it gobbles up as much yarn as you wanting to feed it! Let it grows as big as you allow it to be!

The beauty of this pattern (charm) is versatility! The main body consists of 2 main stripes, it is capable of expanding to as large as you want the shawl to be!

As for colour, all sorts of odds and ends can be used, either by mixing or adding or using 2 strands held together, there are no limits and variations!

It doesn’t really matter if it is going to be supper fine by using fingering weight yarn or masculine in DK , even a little on the big side in chunky weight yarn!

So, let’s your needles be your wand, and work on your magic charm, let’s Engorging!


COLOUR
Pick whatever colour you desire, any colour tone, or use one single colour throughout! Alternatively, you may even switch colour every alternative rows!

MARLING
