• DESCRIPTION

This shawl is designed with a crescent shape that when worn draped around the shoulders looks like a mini cape.

The simple construction and details allow this design to be worn with many outfits for fall.

Yarn

3 x 100g skeins of Martin's Lab Yarn - Comfy Merino/color Inferno.
100% Superwash Merino./437 yards/400 meters per skein.

This is a fingering yarn weight.
This yarn was knit with two strands together.

Substitute with any yarn suitable for the needle size listed.

Needles

6mm (US 10) 100cm/40" circular needles.

I used my interchangeable circular needles on a 100cm/40″ cable.

I did not join in the round to knit the shawl.

The shawl is worked back and forth on the needles - knit flat.

The long cable was used to accommodate the number of stitches.
