Le Mouton Rouge Knittery

 


Frank Shawl by Joji Locatelli - Digital Copy

MATERIALS
Yarn: 4 skeins of Tosh Merino Light, by Madelinetosh (100% Merino, 100g / 420yd 383m) or approx. 1428 yards 1306 m of fingering weight yarn. 1 skein in each color or approx. 420yd 383m in color 1, 300yd 275m in colors 2 and 3 and 340yd 311m in color 4.

The sample was made using colors:
1: Glazed Pecan (gold)
2: Antler (off-white)
3: Scratched Record (Charcoal) and
4: Great Grey Owl (medium gray).

Important: You will use every last yard of color 1. If you knit loosely and normally use more yarn than most patterns call for, I would recommend getting a second skein in this color.

Needles: US 5 (3.75mm) needles.
Other notions: Stitch markers, tapestry needle, blocking pins or wires, waste yarn to put sts on hold.

GAUGE
18 st and 38 rows to 4” (10cm) in garter st on US 5 (3.75 mm) needles after blocking.
Gauge is not crucial for this project, but changes might result in a different yardage requirement.
