If you would also like a printed copy of the pattern with your yarn, just ask when you check out. I'm happy to include it.
About the Pattern
The Metamorphosis Shawl is a big triangular crescent that is large enough to curl up in but elegant enough to wear anywhere. I designed it with enough stitch variation to be interesting to knit and really lovely to wear, but there’s nothing too difficult for an advanced beginner here.
- Size 5 US circular needles that are at least 36 inches in length. A longer set will make things easier in the final rows of the project. I used a 60-inch set.
- Three stitch markers. One should be removable to mark the RS of the work
Gauge
Gauge is not crucial, but aim for a fabric that is fairly solid but not stiff when knitting stockinette. My gauge was 5-6 stitches per inch and 6-7 rows per inch.
Size
-
The shawl is 22" from top to bottom at the center, going all the way down to 1" at the edges.
- The width at the top is 76".
- The width at the bottom is 174", giving it a gently ruffled edge.

About the Yarn
The kit includes all four skeins that you will need for the project. You'll get two skeins of Peacock Feathers and two skeins of Peacock Eyes. I knit the project using Stained Glass Sock, but I'm also offering the yarn in Sock Perfection and Sparkly Merino Sock. I think it will look lovely in any of the three.
I created Peacock Feathers as an assigned pooling colorway using an actual peacock feather as the model. The background is a lichen color with brown and dark green, and the assigned pooling section has navy, sapphire blue, seafoam green, and brown.
I created Peacock Eyes to go with Peacock Feathers. It has all the same colors as the assigned pooling section of Peacock Feathers, so they truly are a match made in Heaven.
