Fala Shawl by Maia Discoe features a worsted weight self-striping yarn paired with a solid color creating striking graphic stacks of stripes. It also has a special decorative cast-on created by Maia, and she's created a helpful tutorial for it as well!
This pattern is appropriate for an Advanced Beginner. Basic skills required include casting on, knitting, yarn overs, and decreasing.It uses US size 9 / 5.5mm x 32 inch long circular needles, or size need to get gauge.
The yarn used is Deluxe Worsted Superwash for the Main Color (2 skeins) and Deluxe Stripes for the Contrast Color (1 skein)
This shawl would be great worked in any worsted weight wool or wool blend yarn. The contrast color would also be great with handspun striping yarn or a gradient made from leftover yarns!
