This crescent shawl design combines colour and texture working from garter stitch variations, through slip stitches to lace patterns at the end of the shawl.

I set out to design a very simple triangular shawl and decided to offer the shawl from wide cast on to point and from point to wide cast off. I have kept the stitch pattern(s) fairly simple but for more advanced knitters you can combine the three stitch patterns to make the shawl your own. the stitch patterns all work well as reversible farbics.

The pattern offers two versions of the ripple stitch pattern, an open eyelet lace version shown in the images and a closed increases version (not shown on the pattern).

The scarf is worked in Tunisian Chevron Lace stitch pattern. It is basically a Tunisian Simple Stitch with increases and decreases to create the chevron/ripple stitch pattern.

The Shawl can be knitted in DK weight or 4ply/Fingering weight yarn. Two sizes are offered in each weight. The main body of the shawl should be knitted in a solid or semi-solid colour to best show off the textured stitches in the pattern.

A great stash buster pattern as the stars take only a small amount of yarn. They are best worked in 4ply/Fingering weight yarn or sock yarn. I have attached the starts to a thin bracelet to let them hang as a decoration but you could stiffen them with starch or sugar water to make them hang without the bracelet.
