The Gypsy Queen Shawl is the first pattern in my Pride of the Gypsies collection. I wanted something big, something to wrap around in on those warm summer nights while sitting barefoot on the grass staring up at the night sky watching the stars float past.
Yarn: Stylecraft Classique Cotton 4ply – I used 10 ball in white. However, you may want to have a few extra. I got 13 squares from each ball and I had a few yards left, which I saved for the fringe. I use Stylecraft Classique Cotton in 4ply as it is simply divine to work with. The Classique Cotton is 100% cotton yarn which is available in 12 great colors from bright zesty to cool pastels. This super soft yarn glides off the hook giving you a great stitch definition.
If you want to be creative and use more than one color, you can plan your colorway using the coloring picture at the end of the pattern, or here Shawl Template
