Meridian Lines
Meridian Lines is knit from one corner, increased to its widest, and then decreased to the opposite corner. This construction gives you a perfect square that can be worn folded in half and wrapped around your neck or draped across your shoulders or your lap.
When choosing colors, I suggest selecting neutrals for your MC and CC1 and then a pop of color for your CC2. You can also go with three neutrals that contrast nicely together, as I did. Swatching with possible choices is the best way to know if you will like a color combination.
Yarn: Fingering weight. Yarn amounts required: MC - 900 yards (823 m), 205 g (7.2 oz). CC1 -193 yards (176 m), 44 g (1.5 oz). CC2 - 193 yards (176 m), 44 g (1.5 oz).
Suggested Yarn: Purl Soho Linen Quill (50% fine highland wool, 35% alpaca, and 15% linen): 439 yards (410 m) per 100 g (3.5 oz) skein. 3 skeins of Kettle Black (MC), 1 skein of Peach Stone (CC1), and 1 skein of Wheat Flour (CC2).
Gauge (after blocking): 22 sts and 42 rows in 4” (10 cm) in Ridge Pattern.
Suggested Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm). I recommend a 32” (81 cm) length circular needle or longer.
Finished Measurements (after blocking): 35” (89 cm) square.
Difficulty Level: Suitable for adventurous beginners or knitters who are proficient at the following skills: knit, purl, increasing and decreasing, adding new colors to the work.
Notions: Stitch markers, crochet hook, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a 6” (15 cm) piece of cardboard for making tassels. Blocking mats, pins, and wires make blocking your finished shawl easier, though they are not required.
This item is a digital pattern .pdf for you to knit the shawl yourself. It’s not an actual finished shawl.
