Fir Cones on the Mountains
This shawl was made with just under two skeins of Jawoll Magic yarn from Lang Yarns. It is a fingering weight yarn. It was
made with size 9 circular needle, but the size is simply to your taste. Because it is knit from the center neck edge out,
one can stop knitting when the shawl is the size you wish. Gauge is not terribly significant. The size of the shawl pictured
is approximately 65” wide.
