Pricing update: I have increased my prices to more accurately represent the work that has gone into the making of my patterns. All my patterns have increased in prices, however my newer designs have increased more than my old ones, as I feel I have learned a lot over the years and the quality of my newer designs is higher. The price listed reflects what I believe is fair for the work put into the design, however I understand that the price increases may be inaccessible to some and am offering some tiered discounts for those that need them.

A “Choose What You Pay” model is available for this pattern, allowing both financial accessibility and fair pricing. The buyer may pay what they are able while still valuing the hard work invested to create this design. Use the codes below in order to pay the price listed after each. Choose whichever price works best for you!

• No Code – Full Price = $10.00 CAD
• PK10 – 10% off = $9.00 CAD
• PK20 – 20% off = $8.00 CAD
• PK30 – 30% off = $7.00 CAD

I also offer a Buy 3, Get 1 Free discount! Add any 4 of my patterns to your cart, and use the code BUY3GET1 to get the 4th pattern free! Note: the free pattern will be the lowest priced pattern.

This pattern is for a beautiful worsted weight garter stitch shawl/wrap with fade sections between each colour. I chose to make mine a fade with 5 different complimentary skeins, but you could customize yours and make it solid, or use more or less colours for the fade. There are two fade options for this design, one with 5 equal width sections (like my sample) and one with equal yardage sections (longer sections for the ends, thinner section for the center).

Size:
~65 inches wingspan, ~25 inches in depth (blocked measurements, no tassels)

Needles required:
US 7/4.5 mm with a 32 inch or longer cord
May need other size needles to meet gauge
I used Kollage Square circular needles, which are ergonomic and have really nice sharp points!

Gauge:
18 sts x 26 rows = 4 x 4 inches (garter, wet blocked)
18 sts x 32 rows = 4 x 4 inches (garter, unblocked)
Gauge is not crucial for this test knit, since the size can be a bit bigger/smaller and it won’t really affect fit like a garment, but you should try to get close to this so your yardage and size wont be too off!

Yarn required:
Any worsted weight yarn you can get gauge with
I used Leo & Roxy Merino Worsted (100% Superwash Merino, 113g/210yds) in Meredith, Spruce, Oasis, Great Big Sea, and King’s Treasure

Yardage required:
5 skeins (or ~715 yards total for the shawl and ~75 yards total for the 3 tassels)
Equal width sections you’d need 63/173/240/170/65 yds per colour for your 5 skein fade
Equal yardage would be about 145 yds per colour
Tassels will use ~25 yds per tassel, and could be mixed with all the leftover yarn or done to match the section they will attach to. I made mine with the center one being a mix of the 3 center sections, and my end ones matching their section.

Yardage is an approximation, and is based on my sample and the testers samples. I wanted to do equal width sections and use up the middle skein fully so I based my size on that. You could go a little smaller if your skein yardage is a bit less. Allow for extra/less yardage if choosing to modify the size.
