Truro Twist Finished Pattern
By Fionnghuala Doran
I designed this shawl to go with the socks that are also available on my Ravelry page. The idea
behind all of my patterns is simplicity and beauty. I love to be able to knit up a pattern that looks
effective and pretty but one that you can memorise and so keep yourself entertained on the
London underground on the way to work, or watching your favourite TV programme!
I really hope you enjoy using this pattern I suggest that you use a soft wool/yarn as it will feel
lovely around your neck and keep you warm in the coming autumn.
Thank you for using this pattern, and happy knitting!
Nu x
Yarn
100g fingering weight/ sock weight yarn
(depending on the size you want the shawl you can use morne than 100g. I used 100g in both of
my
examples and it gives you enough for a good size scarf)
Needles
3mm circular needle (or up to 4mm if you would prefer a larger shawl with more drape I used
3mm in all of the examples on my Ravelry page), 100cm or 120 cm so that you have enough
room for all of your stitches when your close to finishing.
Notions
4 Stitch markers
a Darning needle
a Cable needle
wool wash to make it smell nice for when you have it round your neck (i used persil hand wash for
wool and a couple of drops of essential oil in the water when I soaked it ready for blocking).

Continue with the established pattern untill the garter stitch edging measures 1 inch (longer if you
prefer) and then using a stretchy cast off, cast off all of the stitches and finish by weaving in the
ends.
Blocking
Block your work using pins a couple of towels and a piece of carpeted floors that your not using.
Soak your work and then ring it out gently but pressing it between folds of an old towel. Put the
towels down to protect your carpet, pin and stretch out the shawl from the center making sure that
you stretch it evenly. Leave to dry and then when you take it up it will hold its shape and look
beautiful.
