Overview

If you’ve ever struggled to keep your shawl on your shoulders, misplaced your shawl pin, or found yourself constantly adjusting it to meet the room’s current temperature, this design will delight you.

Construction

Beginning with 3 stitches, this asymmetrical shawl uses the most basic increase and yarn over on every row. These subtle eyelets are complimented by easy garter stitch to form the body. Once the final stitch count is reached, stitches are bound off using a method that mimics garter stitch. Stitches are then picked up to create a simple lace-patterned cowl collar to gracefully frame the neckline. A single crochet border further opens up the eyelet edge. The pattern offers tips for enjoyable knitting and wearing suggestions.
