You can knit one of these in about four hours or less. I knit very fast on small needles but very, very slowly on the large single point needles that I use to make this shawl and still managed to make mine in four hours.

I have made a few of these out of different fancy yarns. They are great to have on the back of your chair if your shoulders get cold and look like a pretty home décor item at the same time. The small size is 157cm x 53cm or 62” x 21” and the large is 178cm x 74cm or 70” x 29” blocked. The size is determined by the needle size.

You will need bulky weight yarn, although I have made one of these with worsted weight. As long as it has some texture or fuzziness or some other interesting feature (think boucle) the yarn will work beautifully for this pattern. You can also hold two ends of the same or contrasting colours of worsted together to make up a bulky weight. Use your imagination and whatever you have in your stash. I tend to collect single skeins of unique yarn just because they are so pretty and this is a great project to use those up.
