Dittany by @Yarnflakes

7,87

Dittany is a simple shawl worked sideways featuring a textured border. Its basic shape allows the knitter to adjust length and depth while using any amount of yarn available.
It starts with the tip of the border, made of slipped stitches, garter, half brioche rib and simple cables. Once the border is fully set, increases slowly create a stockinette section to make the main body of the shawl, until the desired depth is reached. The shawl is then worked straight for a while until decreases shape it back to a point.
With charted and written instructions, this is a very quick, comfy shawl to knit for the colder months.

Manchelopi is an unspun yarn that is made 100% with Manchega wool. Its color shades and its twist-free slivers make this “cheese” a rare and high-quality material with which you will be able to create unique and inimitable clothing.

As for the thickness, due to its double sliver, it will depend on our control of the needles. If we want to knit it in two strands to make it easier for us, we would be facing a thickness of 230m / 100g (DK); on the other hand, if you are one of the highly skilled ones and you dare with a single strand, you will have double the meters: 460m / 100g (Fingering).
