ABOUT THE PATTERN
Heia struktursjal is a slightly narrow garter stitch shawl with a simple eyelet pattern. It is worked from the centre tip outwards, with increases along both sides. Its elongated shape makes it easy to wrap twice around the neck without feeling bulky. You can knit the shawl with one strand of Lamull held together with one strand of Alpaca Silk, or with a single strand of Finull. The pattern is written with beginner knitters in mind: there are no abbreviations or advanced techniques. The aim is for this shawl to be simple and enjoyable to knit, so that everyone can share in the joy of knitting. We’re cheering you on! For more information, visit www.raumagarn.no

ABOUT GAUGE & SWATCH
Make a swatch and wash it the way you intend to wash the finished shawl before measuring tension.
It is the stitch count across the width that is most important to match.
Needle size is only a guideline. If you get more stitches than stated, use larger needles.
If you get fewer stitches, use a smaller needles.

ABOUT YARN SUBSTITUTION
Be aware that the finished shawl may look different if you change yarn type, and the yarn requirement may also change. Use this formula to calculate the correct amount of yarn: metres per ball of original yarn × number of balls for your size ÷ metres per ball of substitute yarn = number of balls needed (round up).
