English manual

Joji Locatelli I I designed a shawl with a geometric, almost crystal like shape, with diamonds and ridges, to capture this effect.
This wrap is worked from both ends towards the middle, so for most of it you will have to work 2 identical pieces, until you join everything together at the centre.
It uses two types of yarn: a single ply merino and a fuzzy blend of alpaca and silk in the same colorway.
Attention: I used the full amount of yarn listed in the requirements, with very little to spare. If you tend to run out of yarn for some projects, you may want to use a slightly smaller needle.

Size
Approx. 76½“ 191 cm long and 18” 45.5 cm wide (after blocking).
18 sts and 28 rows to 4” 10 cm using US 6 4 mm needles, in stockinette stitch (after blocking).
