I would look for a shawl pattern of similar size designed for DK weight yarn and go off that for yardage estimate. You'll need less yardage of DK to get the same size shawl, but *significantly* more if you want to follow the your entire pattern written for fingering weight.

Hear me out here. What if, just what if, you went into 2025 with enough books? Emotional support books, battle books, books that bathe you and some that love cuddling. Maybe you already have a book haul. But what about 2nd book haul?
