A little note about gauge and yarn:
I used almost ALL of my skeins of yarn. Each skein that I received had an additional 6 – 10 grams of yarn over 100 grams. Be sure to weigh your yarn beforehand and knit a simple stockinette swatch to ensure you do not run out of yarn.

Yarn Notes:
If you would like to substitute yarns for this pattern, you can use only 3 colors for this pattern instead of 5. Colors B – E are all half skeins of fingering weight yarn, so you could use one color skein for B & D, and one for C & E. This way it will break up the colors nicely.
Choosing your Colors (if you did not order the Holiday Box):
All of my colors are solid / semi-solid, with Color A having a bit of speckles. I would recommend choosing your Color A as the Main Color carried throughout the shawl. Then Colors B – E to be contrasting colors to Color A. You could definitely choose a gradient for those, that would look lovely! I would choose Color A, then you could have a gradient for the other colors. My shawl is definitely more bright colors, but more subdued would definitely work if that’s your preference.
Stashbuster!!
This shawl pattern is a fabulous way to bust your stash! Grab those leftovers and 50g balls (maybe leftover from some socks you made?) along with one full skein with at least 438 yds / 401 m and you’re good to go!!
Needles:
32” / 81 cm US 5 / 3.75 mm circular needles
