Kintting pattern, NOVAshawl, minishawl, midishawl

This shawl is one of the favorite things I ever knitted. The trapeze shape creates the perfect proportion of length and width and can be worked in any yarn and size you like. A perfect project for a luxurious yarn like ROAD TO CHINA LIGHT or a hank in a special hand dyed yarn.
I had the honor to design the SUPERNOVA cardigan for The Fibre Co in 2022 and when I finished, I had a little left-over yarn and immediately thought about a matching hat. One year later I designed the matching shawl and be sure, this will not be the last design of the NOVAseries.

GAUGE

It’s recommended to cast on the shawl with yarn and matching needle size, after a few cm you can wash and block or steamblock the shawl to see if you like gauge and the fabric you created.

the gauge of sample 3 is 26 sts x 28 rows
