Laulu Shawl by Sari Nordlund

Pattern sold separately on ravelry.com HERE

The Laulu shawl is a little kerchief that can be worn in multiple ways. It is started at the tip of the shawl, then increased on every right side row until the full width before decreasing your way back to the other tip. The size can easily be modified by adding more pattern repeats for a larger shawl.

Laulu is the Finnish word for “a song”. I chose this name because the undulating cables and rhythm they create reminded me of soft melodies.

Size:
Length 125 cm / 49.25 inches
Width 33 cm / 13 inches

Yarn:
The shawl uses a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of DK weight yarn. If you wish to work a DK weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the fingering weight yarn.

273 Yards of DK weight yarn OR 1 skein of fingering and 1 skein of mohair (need 273 yards of each).

Needles
4.00 mm / US6 circular needle with a cable length of 60 cm or 80 cm / 24 inches or 32 inches

Gauge

Note: Always use the needle size that gives you the right gauge!
