Mare by Natasja Hornby

This pattern is electronic and will be sent to you directly from Ravelry.

The beautifully rounded, winged crescent shape of luscious and generous Mare allows for a lot of styling options. You can wrap, knot and drape her, and she will naturally embrace your shoulders without the aid of a pin. She will look just as good in two tonal colours as in something more contrasting and attention-grabbing.

CONSTRUCTION
Mare is worked from the top down. First, the inner section is shaped using short rows. After this section is completed, increases are worked at both ends of the shawl. A few carefully placed increase rows ensure the shawl can easily be blocked to a winged, rounded crescent shape.
All colorwork is done using the slip-stitch technique, so you will be handling only one strand at all times.

SIZE
Approx. 280 cm / 110.25” wingspan, measured along the top edge, and a depth of 59 cm / 23.25”.

YARN
Fingering weight yarn.
MC approx. 750 m / 850 yards.
CC approx. 470 m / 510 yards.

If you want a smaller shawl you could BO after the second Corn on the Cob pattern section. According to the testers you will need approx. 275 m / 300 yards of the MC and 220 m / 240 yards of the CC.

INSTRUCTIONS
Directions for the flower sections of the shawl are written out and charted.
