This shawl is Fingering weight version of the Dactyl pattern, previously available only in Worsted. It makes a lighter shawl with a softer drape and some soft light shining through!

When you buy the “e-book,” you get one pattern document with both weights included.

Take Note: This shawl is worked from the bottom up. If you are using color-changing, gradient or stripes of any kind, plan accordingly.

Gauge is not critical.

The fingering weight version is a long shallow shawl/scarf, which ranges from about 5 feet to 6 feet long, depending on exact gauge and how you block.
