US2 (2.75 mm) 40” (100 cm) circular needles, or size required to obtain gauge

(We alternated the needles with each row through the body of the shawl. If you have interchangeable needles, you could have the larger on one end and the smaller one on the other end so you don’t have to remember to switch needles)

Gauge

17 stitches by 30 rows in pattern motif = 4” / 10 cm, after blocking. While gauge is not important, as the fit is not crucial, changes in gauge will result in size differences and the yardage required to complete the project.
