Knockout Round Shawl by Ann Weaver

We’ve reworked an incredibly popular free fibre space pattern in two yarns now available in our shop. When I saw the Merino Silk Fingering from Freia Yarns next to Albertine by De Rerum Natura, I knew that the two were meant to be together. With similar fibre contents (Merino and Silk), they make an amazing pairing – the Albertine providing a solid color base for the ombré of Freia Yarns.

While a huge finished shawl, it works up very quickly on US#8 needles. The shawl converts easily into a cowl, particularly with a nice leather cuff like the one seen below.

Materials:

• Color A: 2 balls De Rerum Natura Albertine (90% organic Merinos d’Arles / 10% Silk, 220 yards per 50 gram ball)
• Color B: 1 cake Freia Yarns Merino/Silk Fingering (70% US Merino/30% Mulberry Silk, 330 yards per 75 gram cake)
• US# 8 (5.0mm) circular needle, at least 32 inches long
• 4 stitch markers
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• Copy of the Knockout Round Shawl pattern (free!)

I put together some color pairings for you to choose from, although the possibilities are endless!
