INTRODUCTION The Nova Shawl is worked flat in garter stitch with an I-cord edge on one side of the shawl and a lace edge on the other side. It is knitted in three sections: a section with increases, a middle section, and a section with decreases. You can find a video on YouTube that introduces you to the shawl and shows you how the shawl is constructed, how the start is made, and how the I-cord and YO’s are done.

YARN For this scarf you will need a DK weight yarn or fingering weight yarn held together with a lace weight yarn. It is important to choose a soft yarn since you are going to wear the scarf close to your neck. I recommend: 250 m Merry Merino 110 GOTS from Kremke Soul Woll (50 g = 110 m) held together with 75 g Silky Kid from Kremke (25 g = 210 m)
