This shawl designed by Kate Atherley is so popular in the shop, we thought we'd create kits for it!

Gabardine takes only 2 skeins of wonderful buttery Opus Yarn, and results in a fabulously wearable, snuggly, fitting shawl that will become your wardrobe go-to!

The slightly unusual shaping creates an extra wide piece with some curl at the edges for an enveloping wrap.

Who says shawls have to be lacy and delicate? Ribbing makes a fantastic fabric for a casual, everyday piece that works with any style.

Your kit includes:
• 2 skeins of Opus (shown in Cinnabar)
• PDF pattern (delivered by email. Give us your Ravelry username in the notes if you'd like us to add it to your Ravelry library.)

You will also need:
•4.5 mm (US 7) 60 cm/24” circular needle
• 5.5 mm (US 9) circular needle for working cast-off
• Removable stitch markers
• Digital scale

One size
At tension and with yardage given, finished shawl is: 180 cm/70 inches wide and 53 cm/21 inches deep.

Note: The pattern calls for 2 skeins of yarn, and the individual sections are set by yardage/yarn used. No counting of stitches required, but you will need a digital scale.

Opus was developed by the amazing Carmen Schmidt - expert owner of A Yarn Story ,to address the need for a yarn which is both soft & buttery and also a workhorse, so you know this will be a good 'un!

Opus is super lush."Buttery" is the perfect adjective for this yarn, which masquerades as a fine, cool cashmere but is in fact a hardy blend of merino and baby alpaca. It's technically a Fingering/4-Ply weight, but also knits up perfectly as a Sport weight since it's so lofty.
