Banbridge is the third shawl in the Petite Possibilities Shawl Collection. It is knit sideways, from tip-to-tip, in an all-over slipstitch pattern. The textured pattern resembles a brick wall, with each row of stitches offset from the ones above and below, similar to the way bricks are laid in a wall.

There are two shapes to choose from - a shallow crescent or a symmetric triangle.

Banbridge is easily customizable to your desired size, and the amount of yarn you have available. You can make a one-skein shawl, a small shawlette, a narrow scarf, or a headwrap.

Size options and detailed instructions can be found in a separate PDF titled Banbridge Possibilities.

Designed for fingering weight yarn, Banbridge will be equally pretty in a Sport or DK yarn. Several test knitters chose this option.

The pattern includes row-by-row instructions with stitch counts for every row, and handy tables to help you keep track of your progress.

As a fun bonus you will also receive the Banbridge Cuff pattern. The cuff is an attractive, finishing touch to your lovely shawl.

TIPS AND TRICKS is a separate 4-page PDF. It contains extra information on all the key details of the shawl. As an experienced knitting instructor, I love to share helpful tips, and offer lots of advice!

SKILL LEVEL - Well within the capabilities of an adventurous beginner, but interesting enough for an experienced knitter to enjoy.
