The Hope Shawl is my own personal celebration of being a ten-year, 2-time breast cancer survivor and my hope that one day there will be no more cancer of any kind. It is a crescent-shaped, reversible shawl featuring a brioche edging that “syncopates” or changes which color is dominant with each pattern repeat. Worked from the top down in 2 coordinating/contrasting colors beginning with a 2-color welting stitch, you will need about 350 yards of fingering weight yarn in 2 colors for a total of about 700 yards to make this shawl. Although I used fingering weight to knit this in, anything from fingering weight through DK would work. Adjust your needle size accordingly and expect a larger shawl than mine made up to be if you choose a heavier weight than fingering. My finished and blocked shawl ended up being 6 feet long and 16 inches deep at the center, deepest point. Written instructions, video help links, and stitch counts are included in the pattern.
