New Buffalo uses five colors in broad stripes to create an airy, light weight wrap.
Worked in Stockinette stitch, the construction is simple: beginning at one tip, the increase section is worked first, then the decrease section is worked to the other tip.
We've chosen bold colors with high contrast: Fawn, Chicory, Ironweed, Trillium and Angelica. A range of our greys or browns would be equally lovely.
The instructions are written.
Skill level: Advanced Beginner.
Size: wingspan is approx. 69" and center depth is approx. 23", after blocking.
You will need:
- One skein each of Liverpool Fingering in five colors. Sample shown in Fawn, Chicory, Ironweed, Trillium and Angelica.
- US size 4 (3.5 mm) 24" circular needle. Shawl is worked flat; the circular needle accommodates the large number of stitches.
- Blocking wires (optional but recommended for a smoother edge)
- Yarn needle
