This shawl is part of the Gawain’s Shield shawl collection, based upon the medieval story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Because fellowship refers to how knights interact with one another, I chose this yarn for the name: Lancelot is a knight whose fellowship is well-known. Also, the worsted weight yarn gives this shawl more solidity, as does the wider border, which emphasizes the positive relationship between knights.

Construction and Size
The crescent shape of the shawl is created by using German short rows and garter stitch. Then, the lace border is worked using the knitted-on border technique. When blocked, the shawl measures 62” (157.5 cm) long and 8.5” (21.5 cm) at widest section. The shape makes it wearable both as a narrow shawl as well as a scarf.
