Materials
Tension
23 stitches to 10 cm in garter stitch, using 3.75mm needles.
Needle Sizes
- 3.75mm circular knitting needle (80 cm cord)
Instructions Overview
- Cast On: Cast on 5 stitches using the 3.75mm circular needle.
- Shaping: The shawl is worked flat in rows, not in rounds, with increases made by yarn overs (yon/yob) on every right side row. The shawl grows from the center top outwards to the edges.
- Work Rows: Alternate between right-side and wrong-side rows, following the simple shaping instructions until there are 241 stitches or the ball of yarn is almost used up, leaving enough yarn to cast off.
Stitch Patterns
- Garter Stitch: Every row is knit, creating a textured, squishy fabric that stretches slightly.
Finishing
- Cast Off: Cast off very loosely to allow the shawl to drape nicely.
- Seaming: There is no seaming required for this project.
- Blocking: Gently block the shawl to achieve the finished measurements and to open up the stitches.
