kit includes 10 x 20g 4ply merino sock mini skeins and 3 x 100g 4ply merino sock in candytuft Umbellata
Sophie stopped early on the border and only did one eyelet border row, the pattern has 4, so you may need to add an extra mini skein of 20g if you would like to do the shawl as the pattern.
This smooth semi-circle shawl begins at the top center and increases toward the border with simple slip stitch polka dots. These colorful dots remind me of the Lite Brite toy I played with when I was child. You could use lots of leftover sock yarns or mini skeins for the contrast colors or enjoy a fun color changing yarn like the sample shawl.. The exaggerated wavy border finishes the shawl with a flourish.
