Girasole Shawl


Pattern: Girasole by Jared Flood
Source: Brooklyn Tweed Designs
Needles: US 5, 16' & 32" circulars and dpns
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Fisherman in Cedar, 2 skeins

I made the shawl size and blocked this to 54" diameter. It is a nice size and I knit it quite tightly so it is thick and warm. The pattern was pretty easy to memorize in each row, which made it less challenging to knit than it might look. It was a long project, but I'm happy with the results.
