I have been wanting to try my hand at the half-circle shawls for a while, but I was somewhat reluctant, as I was under the impression that I’ll have to learn some complicated knitting method to get the semicircle shape. This month I finally decided to put some effort and make one. I started by looking for a simple increasing pattern to use, followed by many trials and errors. I was finally able to come up with a pattern that suits me, a simple stitch-increasing repetition that will enable me to expand the size and make the shawl as big as I prefer.

So this is my first half circle shawl. It is easy to make, and you can knit it using any other type of yarn you like. I had lots of fun making this shawl, so why don’t you give it a go and make one for yourself! Stay safe and healthy, and see you in another post.
