For every Etsy and Ravelry purchase you make, I’m going set aside $1 (regardless of your purchase amount. you buy $1 worth of goods, that whole $1 goes) to make a donation quarterly to an organization that plants trees globally to combat deforestation. I will be sharing each quarter where I’ve donated and how much I donate, on my blog deennasrambles.home.blog.

A simple garter stitch shawl knit in three colors of DK weight yarn that gradually evolves into garter stitch lace by means of asymmetrical rays of eyelets. Just the sort of thing a fairy might wear on her way to do a bit of shopping for her and her sweetheart, or keep her shoulders warm during cool spring and fall walks through the woods.

  • Yarns: DK weight approx. 800 yards (731.5m) total

  • A – 3 skeins 123yds (337.4m)/50gm each

  • B- 2 skeins 147yds (268.8m)/50gm each

  • C—1 skein 127yds (116.1m)/50gm (Recommended yarns include Knit Picks Capra, Sublime DK, or Rowan Baby Merino Silk DK, Red pattern sample used all three yarns – Red Capra, Sublime Silver, Rowan Pink)

  • Needles and Notions:

  • US 9 (5.5mm) 40” circular needle (or size needed for gauge)

  • Stitch markers (For this pattern you will need a selection of stitch markers to help you keep track of the stitches. The pattern calls for 28 stitch markers in total, 1 of which must be a removable stitch marker. The rest should be in two colors: one set for Sections 1 and 2, another color for Sections 3-5 (23 needed for this second section). Unless stated otherwise, use standard markers throughout)

  • Darning needle for weaving in ends
