Sandbar
Sandbar is an extra-wide, shallow, crescent-shaped shawl, knitted top-down from one skein of fingering yarn. Comforting garter stitch, along with a band of slipped stitches, creates a bright and breezy casual shawl.
Yarn Requirements
400-450 yards of fingering/sock/4ply yarn.
Shown in Atelier Shmeep (80% Merino/10% Cashmere/10% Nylon; 400 yards/366 metres per 100 grams) in Corlette, 1 skein.
Needles & Notions
6 US/4mm circular needle, 32-40 inches/80-100 cm long,
8 US/5mm circular needle, 32-40 inches/80-100 cm long,
Stitch marker (optional),
Yarn/wool needle for weaving in ends.
Gauge
16.5 stitches and 38 rows per 4 inches/10 cm on smaller needles in garter stitch after blocking.
