Not Bad for a Pink Shawl

Pink is not my favourite colour. Except magnolia pink. So when I saw Włóczki Warmii Mirella in the Magnolias colourway, I knew it would make something special. 

And here it is: Not Bad for a Pink Shawl, a semi-triangular shawl featuring a striking cable and lace border along one side. The shawl starts from a tip of the cabled section and is worked sideways to the desired length - you can make it smaller or larger by working fewer or more pattern repeats. The pattern contains both charts and written instructions. 

Size 

Wingspan: 183 cm/73.25 in 

Depth at the widest point: 64 cm/25.5 in 

The size can be changed by working more or fewer pattern repeats. 

Gauge (blocked) 

Stockinette stitch: 26 sts and 36 rows = 10 cm/4 in, with main needle 

Cable and lace pattern: one 32-stitch and 64-row pattern repeat measures 10.5 cm/4.25 in wide 

and 18 cm/7.25 in tall, with main needle 

Garter stitch: 22 sts and 52 rows = 10 cm/4 in, with main needle 

Gauge is not crucial for this project, but it will affect yardage and finished size if different from above.
