If those colors aren't available, any from this category will work.

US size 8 (5 mm) - 5 DPNs and 32” (80 cm) minimum circular needle or size needed to obtain gauge

If you are concerned about running out of yarn, consider dropping down a needle size.

SKILL LEVEL:

Intermediate to Advanced: This pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/ concepts include working with DPNs and circular needles, increase and decrease stitches, cast-on methods, and construction and blocking techniques.

Notes from the Designer:

As you immerse yourself in your book, you curl up in the perfect, quiet corner of the library. Lost in the pages, the chilly library envelops you. Remembering that cozy wrap you just finished knitting, you drape it over your shoulders and once again get lost in the pages. This is the perfect wrap to keep the chill at bay, whether you are curled up in a corner with a book or out for a stroll. The elongated rectangle is not only fun to create, but cozy to wear.

• This shawl uses almost all the yardage per color. It is strongly suggested that you make a gauge swatch, and check your gauge often to ensure that you do not run out of yarn.
• This shawl is worked center out to create an elongated rectangle with center points. The piece is knitted in the round until the width is achieved, and then it is divided and worked flat. While knitting flat, each side is worked the same, unless otherwise stated in the pattern. You can work each color on both sides before moving onto the next, or work one side at a time.
