RodeoDream shawl is designed to be made with a semi-solid and sprinkle yarn, 100g/ 3.5oz each of WildWestDye’s naturally dyed soft fingering 2ply pure merino (semi-solid), and soft singles merino/ cashmere/ silk (sprinkled).

You can knit until you run out of yarn - instructions mention which row or rows you can end on. The reversible design and size means you can wear in a multitude of ways.

Using WildWestDye’s favourite stockinette edging, you start with a stockinette tab border and off you go.

The first texture is a garter stripe with the 2ply and a stockinette stripe with the singles yarn, a simple yet satisfying knit.

Next up in only the 2ply merino is a stockinette/ reverse stockinette stripe with eyelets - a design which looks the same on both sides.

The third texture, the ‘lasso’ is worked with the singles yarn only, an all over eyelet, which again, looks the same on both sides.

You finish the shawl with an Icelandic bind-off, perfect for open lace and the edge itself matches the lasso texture perfectly.
