Leftover Shawl is the perfect shawl when you don´t have enough yarn in your stack to start a new inspiring project, but still leftovers to use up in order to ease your conscience – before you buy some new yarns :-).
The shawl is built up of seven sections in garter stitches, combined with a brioche knitted center piece and a nice border of brioche sticks. The pieces are knitted together seamlessly, and each piece is small enough to keep up your interest and ends before you get bored.
I have used five different colors in my shawl, some sections in stripes of two colors, and some sections in single color - but take it as an inspiration! Feel free to mix and choose whatever comes in hand :-)

Gauge: 15 sts / 21 rows = 10 cm in garter stitch (measured after blocking).
The gauge isn´t crucial but will affect the final size. A tighter gauge will have a denser look and feel after blocking. Have the courage to size up your needles and the result will feel like air :-)
Needles: 6 mm needles or size to obtain gauge on 60 cm cable (or longer).
Extras: extra cables for parking stitches while working on other sections, one darning needle to weave in yarn ends, tape measure.
