Size
One size with a customizable border.
You can work fewer CC stripes in the border for a smaller shawl.

Yarn Fingering weight
Yardage
MC - 766yds / 700m
CC1 - 399yds / 365m
CC2 - 399yds / 365m
CC3 - 399yds / 365m
If you are knitting a version with a smaller border, you will require less yarn, but I recommend starting with the yardage recommendations above to ensure you do not run out of yarn.
Notions
54 stitch markers, tapestry needle
Needles
US 4 / 3.5mm circular in 40” / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge
Gauge
24 sts & 36 rows = 4” / 10cm in stockinette stitch (un-blocked).
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 a similar row gauge. Try to get close to 24 sts = 4” / 10cm, but between 22 – 24 sts per 4” / 10cm is also fine. Try not to be close to 20 sts per 4” / 10cm because that will be a looser fabric and you may use more than the recommended yardage.
