Notes

Measurements:
Measurements before blocking:
Width/wingspan approx. 186 cm (73.2 inches).
Length from neck down approx. 100 cm (39.4 inches).
Measurements after blocking, relaxed:
Width/wingspan approx. 226 cm (89 inches).
Length from neck down approx. 114 cm (44.9 inches).

Modifications:
Replaced center YO’s with M1R/M1L - except for in
the YO-rows.
I’ve also added rows in both body and ruffle section.
Body: I’ve numbered the stitch patterns of the main body of the shawl from 1 to 35. I’ve knit stitch patterns 1 to 35 once and then stitch patterns 2 to 13, after this I switched to trim skein and began the ruffle/edge.
Ruffle: I prefer the edge not to be too “ruffly”, so instead of “K2, YO” I did “K2TOG, YO” in the first eyelet row of the ruffle section, and continued knitting 12 rows of stockinette and 7 rows of seed stitch (starting on a WS row) to avoid curling of the edge. Continued knitting the three edge stitches in each row in the ruffle section - same as in body - also to avoid curling.

Bind off:
Did an ordinary bind off on needles size 8.0 mm.

Yarn amounts used:
Body of shawl: 345 grams.
Ruffle: 80 grams.
Finished shawl weighs 425 grams.


This is my 9th FASC in Mosaic Moon.

The shawl pin is made by nicholasandfelice on Etsy.


Shawl was entered as #5/12 in 12 shawls in 2013/12 shawls forever
