The June KAL Shawl was written exclusively for the June KAL kit, we’ll be hosting a KAL in the Fickle Knitter Design Group on ravelry from June 7 - June 28, 2013! If you missed out on the kit, don’t worry. You can now purchase the pattern online and knit along with stash yarn.

The June KAL Shawl is traditional triangle shawl knit from the neck to the long edge. The shawl has a knit-on border which means it’s not necessary to bind off 225+ stitches at once! The bold knit-on edging is worked back and forth over 25 stitches and a k2tog with the main body stitches every other row eliminates the large bind off stitch by stitch. This is a great shawl for beginning-intermediate Lace Knitters.

If you have a question while knitting please join the Fickle Knitter Design ravelry group for help. This is a great shawl for beginning-intermediate Lace Knitters, if you can knit, purl, yarn over, k2tog, ssk, double yo, k5tog, and work a short row you can knit this shawl!

Yarn substitution may result in a change in estimated yardage, gauge and finished size of your individual project.

A note about Gauge
Are you a tight knitter or a loose knitter? If you are a loose knitter please consider going down a few needle sizes. If you are a tight knitter you may have to go up a few sizes to get gauge. Your swatch should be stretched after you’ve soaked it in water and then pinned it out to make it wider to dry, just as you would with the finished shawl.
