Hexagons, pentagons, and triangles, oh my! The seamless Avery Shawl uses picked-up stitches to create an alluring Norah Gaughan signature– style fabric. The shawl is mostly stockinette stitch, but a few key diagonal lines are knitted into each piece to form stars. Once the shawl is complete, steam- or wet-block it well to make the stars shine.
