Designed for a fingering- to sport-weight gradient sock yarn similar to Noro Silk Garden, this crescent-shaped shawl rests nicely on your shoulders and makes a generous wrap.

For a larger, lacier-looking shawl, knit with a larger needle than the pattern calls for. If you’re using Silk Garden Sock, you might need an additional skein (3 instead of the 2 skeins the pattern calls for). It’s garter stitch throughout and as your gauge might be tighter or looser, buy an additional skein to ensure you have enough.
