THIS IS FOR A HARDCOPY OF THE PATTERN TO BE SENT VIA MAIL.
Lunula, little moon in Latin, is the motif that keeps popping up along the edge of this shawlette worked on the bias. Soft garter ridges fill in the body, and a lacy, moon-trimmed edging finishes off the piece. A lovely shawl for a chilly walk in the moonlight.
Lunula requires 400 yards of fingering weight yarn. Hazel Knits
recommends: Artisan Sock, Entice MCN, Divine or Piquant Lite, each of which has 400 yards. You can find those yarns here. Shown in Nickel Entice.
Gauge is 22 stitches over 4 inches. It is knit rather loose with the
fingering weight yarn for a lovely drape.
Additional materials: US 7 (4.5mm) 24-inch circular needle and a stitch marker.
