    Go Go Dynamo features two contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn. The geometric adventure begins with modular sections that form curved and straight stripes. Bands of bubbles and brioche lead to a scalloped short row edging. There are also instructions to knit eyelets instead of brioche if you choose to knit an easy non-brioche option. Then, stitches are picked up from the first sections to create the top center of the shawl with tiny bobbles and slip stitches. An optional wavy border is included to make the shawl larger. 200g of each color is enough yarn to knit the shawl.

    If you want to incorporate a Mohair Dare, add one or two colors of lace weight mohair silk to your color combo in a matching color or add a fluffy contrast color pop. The instructions include notes where you can incorporate a Mohair Dare. Have fun customizing the Go Go Dynamo Shawl. Each section is bursting with bold stripes and entertaining techniques.

    Yarn
    Fingering weight

    This year’s shawl features two contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn, 200g of the MC (Main Color) & 200g of the CC (Contrast Color).

    Yardage
    Approximately 1572yds / 1440m total
    MC (Main Color) - 786yds / 720m
    CC (Contrast Color) - 786yds / 720m

    If your fingering weight yarn comes in 100g skeins, then you will need 2 skeins of each color. If yarn comes in 50g skeins/balls, you will need 4 skeins/balls of each color. You may have some leftovers, but it’s best to have the recommended amount of yarn listed above.

    Needles
    US 4 / 3.5mm in 40″ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge
    1 spare circular needle the same size or smaller for holding sts OR waste yarn.

    Notions
    2 stitch markers, tapestry needle

    Gauge
    24 sts & 48 rows = 4″ / 10cm in garter stitch before blocking

    Try to get close to the recommended stitch gauge to ensure you don't run out of yarn. A similar stitch gauge is more important than getting an exact row gauge.

    Garter Stitch Swatch
    If you would like to see how your colors interact, cast on 30 stitches and knit some colorful stripes, knitting on the right side and wrong side for garter stitch.

    I recommend striping the colors by knitting 4 rows of each color, resulting in 2 garter ridges for each stripe like this…

    Knit 4 rows with MC.
    Knit 4 rows with CC.
    Knit 4 rows with MC.
    Knit 4 rows with CC.

    Repeat those stripes to visualize your color relationship and check your stitch gauge.
