Mesa Collared Shawl Pattern- in 2 Scales Plus Customization Instructions for a Personal Scale

$11.00

Mesa is a garter stitch collared shawl with the impression of a soft, unstructured jacket when worn draped around the shoulders and closed in the front with JUL styling tools. This simple shape may be styled in multiple ways that create several fresh looks.
My intention with this pattern is to bring the idea of size-inclusivity to an accessory that is typically treated as un-sized. Yet scale matters in the realm of shawls and whether the scale of a shawl corresponds well to your body is potentially the difference between a wonderful, wearable knitwear wardrobe staple and a heartbreaking waste of time and material.
I have developed a series of measurements that takes the mystery out of this question of scale. The customization instructions direct you to take relevant measurements to ensure the scale of the shawl’s elements works for your body and your preferences.
Scales 1 and 2 call for fingering weight yarn but the shawl may be knit in any weight fiber and a range of needles sizes using the Customization instructions. Executing a gauge swatch is critical for this project.
