Lilong Shawl is a symmetrical shallow triangular shawl worked top down with Garter Tab Cast-On and regular increases along the edges and central spine to obtain its final shape. Its main body comprises of twisted knit double rib in MC interrupted by textured colorwork, knit on both sides of the project and enclosed by grid lace, creating a floating colorwork effect. The shawl edge features a panel of simple eyelet lace in CC, enclosed by extended sections of textured colorwork and ending with twisted knit double rib. The shawl is bound off in Stretchy Ribbing Bind-Off to ensure a controlled stretch.

The pattern includes full written instructions and is also fully charted which means you do not have to consult written instructions if you wish to work from charts only.

The pattern has been thoroughly tech edited and test knitted.

SKILL LEVEL Intermediate: twisted stiches, corrugated two color ribbing worked on RS and WS of the project, extensive section sequence change.

SIZE

Depth – 31.5” (80 cm)
Side Edge - 52” (132 cm)

YARN & YARDAGE
Fingering weight yarn in
MC: appox 800 yds (732 m)

NEEDLES
US 2.5 (3 mm) circulars with 40” (100 cm) cable. (or size to obtain a close gauge)
Please note, that the needle size is only a suggestion, since the gauge depends on your personal knitting tension.

GAUGE
28 sts x 36 rows = 4” (10 cm) worked flat in twisted knit st double ribbing, after wet blocking.
Due to the generous size of the shawl, gauge is not extremely crucial and having a tighter gauge will still result in a large sample. It is more desirable to have denser than looser fabric to maintain the intended texture of the motifs.
