Chalk Stripe Shawl - LYS Day 2022 by Lisa R. Myers

Craft: Knitting

Short rows and welts produce asymmetrical shawls with deep texture. We knit the shawl in in both Milo and Feliz to showcase the different drape and texture of these yarns!

The Chalk Stripe Shawl uses 3-4 skeins, depending on size and yarn choice:

The Feliz version (green, shown in Z2305 Aloe) in the larger size (3 skeins).

The Milo version (pink, shown in i21754 Bachata) in the smaller size (2 skeins).

Approx. 68” end to end and 15 (19)” at deepest point

Yarn

Manos del Uruguay MILO (65% merino wool, 35% linen; approx. 100g / 380 yds), 2 (3) sk.
