This is a project based on a progressive sequence of patterns for beginner knitters. You’ll put to use all the skills from the original START HERE and START HERE 2 collections, plus you’ll learn how to use a lifeline. This is the perfect first shawl for a beginner knitter looking for a project that combines a range of skills and playful color design.

Who doesn’t love a long, skinny shawl that wraps nicely and shows off your color skills? This shawl design is deceivingly simple with a spine that runs through the shawl from start to finish and just enough lace planned to rest front and center when you wrap this gorgeous friend around your neck.

Videos are included to help with using a lifeline and alternating colorways.

The design uses the following stitches:

• knit
• k2tog
• purl
• yarn over

See my blog post for blocking instructions.

This pattern has been tested by knitters with a range of experience.
