Midnight Express
This is a lovely crescent shaped shawl worked from the top down. You will use 2 different colored yarns, one solid and one long striping, or 2 contrasting solids. This design starts with an I-cord cast on, German short row shaping, Fair Isle body and ends in a graceful pointed edging.
Materials: NOTE: When picking your 2 yarns, make sure the same colors are not in each ball or your design will become blurred). Optional: you may also use 2 solid colors, just make sure you have more yardage on one.
Solid Color 100 grams (400yds) fingering weight yarn (Model String Theory Caper in Black Cherry) I had 13 grams left when finished
Contrasting Color 100 grams (459yds) Crazy Zauberball (Model color 1535) I had 22 grams left when finished
Needles: Size 6 (4.mm) 32” circulars
Shawl Size after Blocked
60” across, 19” in depth at middle
Gauge – 5 stitches per inch, but it’s not an issue as long as using fingering weight yarn and recommended needles.
