A warp speed version of Prime Directive, for those who feel that knitting with fingering weight is like coasting along on only impulse power. Introductory offer: buy either version of Prime Directive, get the other half off!

This shawl is inspired by the Delta Shield worn by the crews of Federation starships -- wear it to explore new galaxies, or just to boldly go wherever your day takes you. It’s perfect for showing off the gorgeous Star-Trek-inspired colorways of Quantum DK by ThreadBear Dyeworks, available through The Twisted Skein in Bakersfield, CA.

Finished size: 84” wingspan, 21” center spine
Yarn requirements:
Color A -- 420-440 yards of a variegated or solid colorway, pictured in Science
Color B -- 180-200 yards of a contrasting solid, pictured in Tritanium

ERRATA: In the “finish the wing” section of both the left and right wing, Row 2 should be the same as Row 4.

Note: you can adapt the pattern for different yardages of Color A by knitting the short rows at the edges of the wings with more or fewer stitches in between turns.
