This pattern is knit sideways from smallest tip to largest almost entirely garter stitch; aside from the increases and bind-off.

Size of your finished shawl/scarf will vary due to your gauge and amount of yarn knit. You can easily substitute a larger needle for a knit with more drape, or a thicker yarn/larger needle for a bigger shawl.

Four Options:
Normal (100 grams = 420 yards), This option is constructed without changing yarn or decreasing at the mid-point.

Arrow (100 grams = 420 yards), This option is constructed without changing yarn and begins to decrease at the 50 gram point to form a final arrow head shape. By knitting this option you will not need the picot bind-off. For the final 5 stitches use the defined bind-off as stated in the pattern.

Half & Half (50 grams-50 grams = 210 yards-210 yards), This option is constructed of two contrasting yarns which are striped into one another once Yarn 1 is approximately 25 grams. Both yarns should be approximately equally visible in the final product.

Contrasted (75 grams-25 grams = 315 yards-105 yards), This option is constructed of two contrasting yarns which are striped into one another once Yarn 1 is approximately 50 grams. Yarn 2 is approximately 25% of the final product.

Increases:I use a Make One Left (M) as my increase. If you like, you can substitute with Kfb (knit front and back) with little difference.

Curvature:The curve of this shawl/scarf is intended to help curve around your neck to keep it on without fastening. If desired, you can lessen the curve by adding a Yarn Over between the first two stitches of Rows 1 & 3 and dropping the Yarn Over without knitting it on Rows 2 & 4.

Yarn Carrying: At the beginning of Rows 1 & Row 3, knit the first stitch, twist the yarn from last color stripe around working yarn once and then continue pattern as normal. Try not to pull up the last color stripe’s yarn as you twist because this will tighten your edge and shorten your shawl/scarf. If all is going well, your edge should still stretch and the carried yarn should be invisible from the front.

Picot Bind-Off: Make sure to have approximately 4 1/2 times the amount of yarn you would usually use to bind-off. This bind-off always takes more yarn than you would expect.

Picot Bind-Off 2: If you do not feel comfortable with the picot bind-off, you can bind-off loosely with the defined bind-off and crochet a picot edge (4 chains into every other cast off stitch) or knit the arrow version.

Weaving in Ends: If you are using a plied yarn, split the plies on your wrong side with your needle and thread the needle through more stitches than you think are necessary. This will ensure invisible and secure ends.
