Finished Measurements: 5 1/2 x 65 inches (after some serious blocking and stretching!)

Materials

1 ball of Lornas Laces Shepherd Worsted in Baltic Sea
Straight knitting needles, US size 8 (I knit loosely, so you might want to bump up to a US 9 if you knit tightly)

Gauge

Each 10 row pattern repeat is 5 1/2 inches wide x 2 inches long after blocking.
