Starting with just a few stitches, this asymmetrical triangular shawl grows in size until the wheat motif panel is revealed, then builds furrows akin to freshly tilled earth alongside the panel until the full length is reached. Slipped stitch edges along the garter border give a clean and neat finish to this celebration of the first harvest.

This shawl is designed to be knit until you run out of yarn (or very close to it). To help with that, you can measure out the required # of yards (see Chart 3 instructions below), tie a slip knot at that point, then slip a pin-style stitch marker through the loop so it won’t slip undone. Then you can knit until you reach that point, ending with either a RS or WS row complete. If you cannot finish a row before you reach the slip knot, unknit the partially finished row and then work the edging.

If you are substituting yarn, or making a different size, you can measure your own yardage per row as you near the end of your Chart 3 repeat using the tips here
