Have you ever wondered why faeries can be so hard to find?
Why, it’s because of their woodland camouflage! They wrap leaves around
themselves to stay hidden and work wild magic. I think we should have some
faerie camo too! Don’t you? Tiny Owl Knits' Fern shawl is
knitted flat using stranded intarsia method. I.e: carry the brown yarn along as
you knit the green stitches taking care to twist or wrap the yarn being carried
along every few stitches to avoid big “floats” in the back. Shawl starts at the
outer left point and is worked to the center, using chart A. Then, chart B is
worked out to other point. 3 chunky tassels are added at the end to add some
weight.
Finished measurements flat:
24” H x 82” W
Yarns used:
DK weight yarn such as: Lorna’s Laces Honor, 100 g – 275 yds – 251 m, 70% baby
alpaca 30% silk. MC: Chocolate 36NS (Brown) 4 skeins. CC1: Cedar 7NS (Green) 1
skein.
Tension/gauge:
Work 24 sts and 32 rows to measure 4×4” in St stitch using US 4 (3.5 mm) needles
with MC. Note: gauge is a little tighter than DK because I went down in needle
size. This achieves a nice tight fabric, which is great for intarsia!
Notions:
A pair of US 4 (3.5mm) circular needles 24” or 29” long, stitch markers,
tapestry needle, a 4” x 4” piece of cardboard used to make the 4 inch tassels.
