Turtle's Solo Journey
This shawl is knit from the top center down following the turtle’s tracks through the textured body to the wavy edging. The center panel pattern is charted only.
Finished Size: approximately 76” wide x 20” deep (193 x 50 cm) after blocking.
Materials:
• Light fingering weight yarn, such as Unplanned Peacock Studio’s Peacock Sock, approx. 860 yds, 786 m
• US Size 5 (3.75 mm) 40” (101 cm) or longer circular needle (or size needed to obtain gauge)
• Stitch markers (several removable markers will be necessary)
• Tapestry needle
Gauge: 23 sts = 4” (10 cm) in stockinette st before blocking, 18 sts = 4” (10 cm) after strong blocking (The fabric needs to have plenty of stretch to block out the body pattern in the end.)
Thanks to Barbara Walker for her turtle inspiration!
