**ABOUT THE PATTERN**
This pattern is available *for free* directly on the Wull Studios website (no account or payment method needed) here: https://wullstudios.com/collections/patterns
It is also available *for free* on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wisdom-of-the-moon-shawl
Just like its namesake, Wisdom of the Moon is an intriguing combination of subtle and bold. The beautiful moon colorwork grabs attention immediately, but then the eye is drawn to all the subtle details, from the tiny stars to the slipped-stitch chevron pattern. And those details ensure that the knitting stays interesting from cast on to i-cord bind off (if you haven't done one of those before, you'll be delighted to find they're actually quite easy!)
This shawl is knit from the top down, and all instructions are written out except for the moon colorwork, which is charted. The moon colorwork is also the only stranded knitting in the pattern - in the rest of the shawl, only 1 color is used at a time.
Needles and Notions
US #5 (3.75 mm) circular needles, or size to obtain gauge.
Gauge
21 stitches = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette st
Gauge is not crucial to pattern, but will affect yardage requirements and finished size. At the given gauge the shawl uses virtually all 504 yds of color A, and you may need additional yarn if your gauge is looser.
Finished Size
60 inches (152 cm) from tip to tip, by 28 inches (71 cm) from center top to lower edge, relaxed after blocking
***A note on colors: all colors are shown on Aurora DK and are an accurate representation of the color, but may not be from the same lot you receive. Variation is normal in hand dyed yarn and a part of its beauty, and the same color will appear different on different monitors, and in different light. When possible we recommend buying yarn in person, but if that's not possible rest assured - we offer free returns* within 30 days of delivery, so there's no risk to trying something new!***
All yarn listed is in stock and ready to ship. If you need a more of a color than we currently have in stock, or you want a color that's currently out of stock, please check out our website (www.wullstudios.com) where we have dyed-to-order for all of our colors and yarns (or feel free to send me a message here on Etsy).
*Free returns for US orders only. We are happy to accept returns for international orders, however the buyer must pay return shipping.
