The Xana shawl is an asymmetric triangular shawl. You start at one end and you increase on one side whilst decreasing on the other to create a fabric on the bias. The shawl has three mosaic sections – a very easy technique to create a colour pattern using only a single colour on each row.
Xana is the name of a mythological character in the area of northern Spain where I was born. She’s a type of fairy that you can find and mountain springs and waterfalls.
MATERIALS
- 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles, 80 cm / 32" long.
- removable marker
- tapestry needle
YARN
You will need fingering weight yarn in 3 colourways:
- Main color: 100g (400m). I used Chileknitz Nube Fingering in Slate (grey)
- Contrasting colour 1: 50g (200m). I used Chileknitz Nube Fingering in Jeans (navy)
- Contrasting colour 2: 35g (140m). I used Chileknitz Nube Fingering in Splashy (green)
If you want the mosaic pattern to stand out, make sure the main colour and the contrasting colour 2 have a good contrast between them. It may be useful to take a photo in black & white which will show the contrast better.
DIMENSIONS
Approximately 185 cm wingspan and 67 cm depth.
GAUGE
21 stitches and 40 rows (20 stripes) in 10 cm/ 4", after blocking.
Tension is not too imporant in this shawl but it may affect the amount of yarn you use or the final dimensions.
