When choosing your color palette, I recommend choosing solid or tonal colorways. Yarns with variegation or heavy speckling will likely interfere with the stitch patterns used throughout the shawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will also want to make sure you have enough contrast between colors for the stitch patterns to have their full effect. In particular, you will want high contrast between colors B and C and moderate contrast between colors D and E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles\/Hooks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUS 1.5 (2.5mm) circular needle \u003cbr\u003eUS 2 (2.75mm) circular needle (optional for clue 2) \u003cbr\u003eUS B\/1 (2.25mm) crochet hook (optional) \u003cbr\u003eOr \u003cbr\u003esize(s) needed to obtain gauge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13 stitch markers \u003cbr\u003eTapestry needle \u003cbr\u003eBlocking supplies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePattern has been tech edited and test knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopyright 2026, Refracted Light Fiber Arts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Refracted Light Fiber Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48341736194148,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2563\/8756\/files\/IMG_0174.jpg?v=1777495238","url":"https:\/\/www.refractedlightfiberarts.com\/products\/sherlock-shawl-knitting-pattern","provider":"Refracted Light Fiber Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
