Mountain Mist Shawl Kit in Alpaca Silk Cashmere 4-ply
The name of this shawl was inspired by the original lace pattern, which evolves and changes in a subtle way throughout the design, reminding me of the way in which a mountain's features change as mist rises and recedes.
Suitable for knitters with experience of lace, and with optional beading, it is designed to be worked on a circular needle (the sample used 4.00mm and 4.50mm) with a single 100g skein of 4-ply/sock yarn.
The 4-ply shawl measures 125cm wide by 45cm deep after blocking. (The pattern also includes a standard laceweight version.)
There are two options for allover beading. The shawl can also be knitted without beads or beaded in selected sections only.
The allover version with full beading takes around 1,440, or 900 for reduced beading. Edging only would require around 600/350 beads.
The kit includes the printed pattern and a 100g (400m) skein of 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk, 10% Cashmere 4-ply yarn, sufficient to make the shawl as written. Beads are not included but may be ordered separately here.
The pattern is both charted and written in full.
