This simple shoulder shawl in worsted weight yarn is knit in one piece from the top down starting with a garter tab cast on. The heart motif forms a beautiful border that ends in a picot edge. The shape of this shawl helps it stay in place. The front points can be worn draped or fastened with a shawl pin. For a different look, fasten the front points of the shawl to the back corners to wear it as a shrug.

This is an easy project in worsted weight yarn that knits up very quickly. The shawl pictured was knit with 3 skeins of Noro Silk Garden. The design really shows off yarns with long color runs like Noro. It would look equally good knit in a solid, a tone-on-tone, handspun, mohair, silk, etc. Instructions are given in the pattern for knitting it in laceweight to worsted.

The five page pattern includes complete line-by-line instructions and a lace chart for the border.
