  This garter stitch shawl is knit with short rows that echo the wings of a butterfly. I-cord edges frame the shawl for a smooth and easy to knit project. Two cakes of Bilum’s gradient yarn produce fascinating color changes, so you can let the yarn do all the work as you enjoy the relaxing garter stitch rows.

• Finished Measurements
  72” / 183cm wingspan length, 24” / 61cm at widest part. Measurements taken after blocking.

  Yarn
  Fingering weight

  Yardage
  1090yds / 997m

  Needles
  US 3 / 3.25mm circular in 40” / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge

  Notions
  Tapestry needle

  Gauge
  22 sts & 58 rows = 4” / 10cm in garter stitch after blocking

  Check your stitch gauge and try to get close to 22 sts = 4” / 10cm or 23 or 24 sts = 4” / 10cm if you’re using the recommended Bilum Loli yarn. This will make a nice crisp fabric.

  If your gauge is a bit looser, you may require more yardage to complete the shawl.
