The stitches used in this shawl are mainly garter and eyelet based. An I Cord edge is knit in along one side, simply worked by following the directions as written, and increases are worked on every alternate row, on the opposite side. There is no decreasing. An I Cord bind off is used and simply explained.

An economical and easy knit, this almost symmetrical triangular shawl is constructed to make use of 2 adoringly contrasting hanks/skeins of fingering weight yarn - or … 1 hank of fingering and 1 hank of lace weight mohair. Or (last time!) - as in this case and per the design sample, 1 hank of fingering and just over 2 balls (around 320 m) of DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk. Using the mohair or the Alpaca Silk option as a contrast will give you a lighter result. Super soft and snug around the neck!

This item starts small and ends when the desired number of stitches have been reached which makes it easily adaptable. Also relatively quick to knit once you get into the rhythm of it. A great travel project! And a lovely gift knit.
