This shawl is made in strips, using heavy worsted weight yarn in six colors. What you want is a gauge of 16 stitches to 4" in the strip pattern, using size 9 (5.5mm) needles or size to get gauge. The original was made with Manos del Uruguay Wool Clasica.

It is a simple design and very satisfying to knit. With the added plus that the finished product is lovely.
