The generous wrap of the shawl will be the envy of everyone! The pattern contains sizes XS - XL for the shell and camisole. The shawl pattern is one size only.Each pattern contains one set of Chenille Tissue Templates. Additional templates are available for this pattern.
Suggested fabrics for the shell, camisole, and shawl: For the best results, 100% rayon is recommended. Rayons will give the most sumptuous colorations and a very fluid drape. Soft fabrics such as charmeuse, silky satins, and even fabrics containing polyester may be used for the base or binding only. ALWAYS make a sample block of any fabrics you select!
Yardage:
Shell: 60" wide rayons only, all sizes - 1 yd for each of the three chenille layers and the base layer for a total of 4 yds. Use scraps for the neck binding.
Camisole: 60 " rayons only, all sizes - 1 yd for the base layer and 1 1/2 yd for the chenille layer, cut on the bias and for the neck and armhole facings.
Shawl: 60" rayons only - 4 yds if you use the same rayon fabric for all 4 layers. 2 yds each layer if you use a different fabric for each layer. A total of 8 yds of 60" rayon fabric will make two shawls.
