Minnamurra is a crescent-shape lace shawl - created from one skein (100 grams) of sock/fingering/4 ply yarn.

The lace pattern is both fully written out and in chart form.

Shawl Construction
The shawl is knitted from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast on. Rapid increases at the edges create a wide, shallow, curved shawl shape. A pretty picot edging completes the shawl.

Finished Measurements
78 inches/198 cm wingspan; 17 inches/43 cm depth.

Yarn
400 yards (100 grams) of 4 ply / fingering / sock yarn. Pattern sample was knitted in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (Well Water colourway).

Needles & Notions
4.5mm (US 7) circular needles, from 30 to 48 inches (75cm to 120cm) long.

Gauge
14 stitches x 24 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) on 4mm needles in Section B lace pattern after a very heavy blocking. Gauge is not crucial but a different gauge will alter the finished size, drape and amount of yarn required.

Note: Many knitters (myself included) tend to knit the top edge of shawls too tightly. To keep the top edge loose, add a yarn over between the first and second stitch of every row and drop it on the following row.
