Isurus is a bias-knit triangle shawl with stripes! It looks detailed, and uses some intermediate techniques, but isn’t difficult to work.

This design stretches a super-luxe yarn by using it as a CC, while pairing it with a less-expensive (but still nice!) solid MC.

You can also think of it as breaking up a more vibrant/complicated hand-dyed yarn with a solid MC, to moderate and get the best of both.

Also: it has stripes, very classic.

Materials:
100yds/23g CC (shown in Hedgehog Fibres Sock in Zenith); 370yds/85g MC (shown in Cascade Heritage Sock in Grey)
1 24”+ circular needle in US5-6/3.75-4mm, or size needed for gauge.
Tapestry needle

Gauge:
Gauge is 17 sts and 25 rows in 4”/10cm in blocked garter stitch. Please be sure to check your gauge.

On the first edition of this pattern, there is no error! Most people should be all set. On the second edition, I tried to make a minor change, fumbled it wildly, and briefly made a .PDF available with the cast-on instructions for the wrong shawl. (I was very excited to change the upcoming shawl by 1 st. I also wanted to make some aesthetic changes to the Isurus pattern. This didn’t play out well on the road.)

At this point, the .PDF has had its earlier corrections corrected.
