General Information:
This shawl is inspired by my trips scuba diving, watching the silvery bubbles of air rising to the surface through glorious blue waters. The shawl is an asymmetric triangle knitted sideways from a few cast on stitches. It is mostly stocking stitch with rows of slipped stitches to create the pattern and finished with an i-cord bind off.

MATERIALS:
Yarn:
MC: Sock weight, ~150 g, 520 m / 567 yds. Shown in BlackElephantUK, colour Ocean Warrior.
CC: Sock weight ~60 g, 221 m / 242 yds. Chester wool Superwash Merino Single Ply colour Natural.

Yarn choice: When choosing your colours, it is important to have a good contrast (light vs dark in very different colours) between the MC and CC. Resist the temptation to buy two yarns that complement each other because they share colours in common as the pattern will be quickly lost. I used a very bright variegated yarn paired with a neutral which works really well.

Needles and notions:
3.5 mm (US 4) circular needle minimum 32 inch / 80 cm long, or needle required to obtain gauge (main needle).
3.75 mm (US 5) circular needle minimum 32 inch/ 80 cm long, or needle 0.25 -0.5 mm larger than main needle for mosaic knitting and i-cord bind off.
Tapestry needle to sew in ends.

GAUGE:
25 sts and 33 rows in stocking st and 25 sts and 41 rows in mosaic stitch, to 4 inches / 10 cm after blocking.
It is important that the number of sts to 4” in stocking st is the same as for the mosaic st.

SIZE:
Approximate: Wingspan: 80” (203 cm), depth: 22” (56 cm).

SKILLS:
knit, purl, slip stitch purl-wise, k2tog, ssk, kfbf, i-cord.
