Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal Shawl

One of my favourite Debbie Bliss yarns is Fine Donegal, a tweed 4ply (fingering weight) yarn. In this shawl, which is available as a pattern leaflet from Debbie Bliss stockists, garter stitch stripes and lace is combined for a shawl with a modern, fresh look.


This crescent shawl is worked from the top down and starts with a garter stitch tab. If you have never worked a garter stitch tab before there are lots of tutorials online, just search for 'garter stitch tab'. 



Materials:
Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal Tweed, 95% wool/5% cashmere, 380m per 100g x 1 skein each of red and grey 
4mm circular needles, 80cm long(120cm long circular needles may be useful for the second half of the shawl)

Size:
Wingspan: 210cm
Depth (at centre back): 52cm

Tension:
15 sts and 32 rows over garter stitch to measure 10x10cm after blocking.

Here's the Ravelry listing so you can queue it. You'll want this shawl for your winter wardrobe.
