I wanted to enlarge my Cosmic Blues shawl design without altering the pattern and decided to use a fingering weight yarn with larger needles.
For a larger shawl, measuring 56 x 27 inches or 142.5 x 68.5 cm, I used 460 yards/420 meters of a fingering weight yarn with US4 (3.5mm) knitting needles.
It required 1 115-gram skein of Biscotte Yarns Super Bambou, hand dyed in the color Violette. The yarn is 70% super wash merino, 20% bamboo, and 10% nylon. The bamboo adds an elegant sheen and drape to the knit fabric.
This is one of my paid patterns on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmic-blues
