Angel Wings Shawl Mini Cal

ANGEL WINGS SHAWL CAL
WRAP YOURSELF OR A FRIEND IN LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP


Pattern part 1: Monday 19th December and will take approx.  half an hour to and hour to complete, each part will follow every other day and take around the same amount of time to complete depending on your speed and experience

Yarn Required: Approx. 200grams of any space dyed yarn, from sock wool to Aran all giving a different size shawl....
Measurements: all measurements are unblocked and relaxed they will be bigger when blocked

A Sample selection of random/space dyed yarns but any brand would be OK for this design a shorter dye spacing will show the rows in different colours best but a longer spacing will look good by the end, giving a subtle colour change


 This is Merry-Go-Round dk 4mm hook
Measures unblocked:11.5" 29cm by 6" 15.25cm

This next one is in James C Brett Marble Yarn 5mm hook
unblocked measures:11.5" 29cm by 6.5" 16.5cm



These next 2 are in the yarn i got from Pound Stretcher not as soft as some of the others but when soaked in conditioner for a few minutes and dried is perfectly acceptable yarn and a reasonable price too especially the larger ball of Aran

First one is labeled dk but is just about the same as the yarn in the picture below labeled Aran both made with a 5mm hook
measures 14" 35.5cm across 8.5" 21.5cm deep

this next one is in a super soft King Cole Drifter 
 4mm hook and measures:11.5" 29cm across 6.5" 16.5cm deep
                                 you get interesting blocks of natural colours and feels lovely

This next one is an Indie yarn, hand dyed from Truly Hooked and a 4mm hook
Measures: 9.5" 24cm across and  5.5" 14cm deep

The Angel Wings Shawl could be made in sock wool too, sorry not managed a sample yet

All the samples in the pictures are of parts 1 and 2 and would take approximately just over the hour to make form someone with a reasonable speed. a little longer for a beginner

Hope you will join the fun
