This combination shawl/cardigan for women in one size (finished size 50" wide; back point length 33.5"; right front length 23"; left front point length 33.5") uses a variety of colors, textures, and gauges of yarn. It lies on the shoulders like a shawl, so minimal shaping is required, and it works up quickly on a large circular needle (12.0 mm or US 17). Uses 6 yarns as follows: 162 yards of polar weight (7 st/4” ) yarn in 1st color, 184 yards of polar weight (11 st/4") yarn in 2nd color (fire), 221 yards of aran weight (18 st/4”) yarn in 3rd color (fire), 108 yards of polar weight (7 st/4") in 4th color, 173 yards of polar weight (11 st/4") yarn in 5th color, plus 221 yards of aran weight (18 st/4") yarn in 6th color, using 2 or 4 strands held together for the lighter-weight yarns, and creating 7 different color ways. Or, uses a minimum of 1070 yards of yarn total in a mix of different colors and textures – a great stash buster for the adventurous.
