A simple triangle with yarn overs (YO) down the center spine and on each end. The “magic” is that by using leftover yarn from other projects, each shawl will be unique.

Easy to change size by knitting more rows or stopping earlier!

Written for fingering weight yarn, it would be easy to knit in other weights as well.

It can also be knit in a single color yarn.

I like the fabric as the result of using a US 5 needle, but use the size that gives you the fabric that you like.

YO2 is an optional double yarn over. One leg is dropped on the next row.

“It’s Magic” shawl pattern was designed for the Tidewater Knitting Guild of Virginia 2017 Knitting by the Sea Retreat.
