The Yarn
This pattern has been a labor of love for over a year now. In March 2019, I special ordered my yarn from MelodyyByWolltraum on Etsy. I originally name for the Emerald Shawl was “Kelly Shawl” but when it fits perfectly within the Birthstone Collection, you adjust.
You could use any yarn. I recommend using a ‘cake style’ yarn because this design is perfect for the gradients available. The shawl will look great in a solid color too. The yarn doesn’t need to be a fingering weight yarn either, go ahead and use your favorite worsted weight. I do advice to not go any larger than a #4 weight, you might loose the detail of the stitches.
The Pattern Notes
This design can be a little tricky at first. The slip stitch rows tend to push the top of the previous row forward. When working the next row, try to make sure that to put the stitch in the slip stitch and NOT the top of the previous row. If having difficulty try doing a sample piece using contrasting colors.
Yours doesn’t need to be as long as mine, I custom ordered the cake so I wanted to use it all. Make yours as long or short as you would like.
