The gauge listed on the pattern and on this page are taken from a swatch, knit on US 8 needles, BLOCKED. If you do not block your swatch before taking these measurements, your gauge will not match up.

Wood & Embers is an fun, accessible, and cozy shawl. Since I was a kid, summers have always been filled with campfires, smores, family, and friends. I channeled those warm, cozy, loving feelings into this design. Wood & Embers is oversized for a comfy feel and is perfect for the cooler summer nights. Knit in worsted weight yarn, this shawl can transition into Fall and Winter as well.

As a top down shawl, I start with a Garter Tab Cast On. If you are unsure of the instructions in the pattern, I suggest checking out some youtube videos on this special cast on. Check out Very Pink Knits explanation of the Garter Tab Cast On: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Y8LSfAHW4
