Notes

This is a lace shawl designed especially for Mosaic Moon, fingering weight yarn (colourway + 2 trim yarns).
The design is inspired by the Eurasian Eagle-Owl and the silhouette of the Moon (which is also a key element in the Mosaic Moon logo).

The pattern contains instructions for a medium size shawl as well as a large size shawl (you know me… I love big shawls) and the instructions for the lace sections will be available as both charted and written instructions.

Measurements:

SAMPLE SHAWL - MEDIUM SIZE:
Measurements before blocking:
Width/wingspan approx. 153 cm (60.2 inches)
Length from neck down approx. 79 cm (31.1 inches)
Measurements after blocking (relaxed):
Width/wingspan approx. 178 cm (70.1 inches)
Length from neck down approx. 90 cm (35.4 inches)
Yarn amounts used:
Eurasian Owl colourway = 174.8 meters (191.1 yards), 44 grams
--, habitat trim = 396.6 meters (433.7 yards), 100 grams
--, bronze trim = 309.2 meters (338.1 yards), 77 grams

SAMPLE SHAWL - LARGE SIZE:
Measurements before blocking:
Width/wingspan approx. 175 cm (68.9 inches)
Length from neck down approx. 93 cm (36.6 inches)
Measurements after blocking (relaxed):
Width/wingspan approx. 210 cm (82.7 inches)
Length from neck down approx. 105 cm (41.3 inches)
Yarn amounts used:
Eurasian Owl colourway = 250.9 meters (274.4 yards), 63 grams
--, habitat trim = 600.5 meters (656.7 yards), 151 grams
--, bronze trim = 340.6 meters (372.4 yards), 85 grams

The lovely yarn that were used for the sample shawl is a new colourway + trims that were dyed by Morwenna especially to be used for this shawl.

My gauge swatch:
Gauge swatch, in plain stockinette on needles size 3.5 mm, 4 x 4 inches:
Right off the needles, before washing and blocking = 28 stitches x 36 rows.
After washing and gentle blocking, relaxed: 27 stitches x 33 rows.
