Venezia Shawl by Joji Locatelli Ravelry Pattern

ONE SKEIN WONDER!
These are some of my favorite projects to make. Special, unique, and perfect for using treasured skeins and making gifts.
Venezia is a precious, delicate shawlette, perfect for any single skein of fingering weight yarn. Worked from tip to tip, with a reversible lace pattern and a diamond shape.
It is framed by a gorgeous reversible diamond lace motif, and the main body of the shawl is worked in ribbing.

Common question about slipping the first stitch of the row: You can do it knitwise or purlwise, whatever you like best! As long as you keep consistent throughout the shawl.
My preference: Knitwise with yarn in back.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
76½“ (184 cm) long and 16¾ (42 cm) wide at middle point.

MATERIALS
Yarn: 1 skein of Merino Singles by Uschitita (100% Merino; 400y/366m; 100g) or approx. 400y (366m) of fingering weight yarn. The sample was made using colorway Venezia.
This shawl is designed to use up a full skein of yarn in fingering weight, but it can be made using a thicker weight yarn or a skein with more yardage…
I recommend you weigh your yarn before starting your work. At the end of section 3 you should have used slightly under 50% of your total grams, to be sure you can finish the whole pattern.
Needles: US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.
Other notions: Tapestry needle, a split ring st marker, blocking pins or wires.

GAUGE
18 sts and 28 rows in p2/k1tbl ribbing on US 7 (4.5 mm) after blocking.
