This is a quick and easy garter stitch shawl. It is knit from the top down, increasing to create a wide and shallow triangular shape.

Skills required are casting on, knitting, increasing by knitting into the front and back of the stitch, and binding off.
Picot bind off requires knowledge of knitted cast on.

This shawl was designed to use just 2 skeins of Madelinetosh DK yarn, and was knitted with size 8 needles (32 - 40” circular).
Recommended gauge is 4 stitches per inch in garter stitch.
Exact gauge is not critical for fit, but will affect finished size and amount of yarn used.

The pattern is very forgiving. If you forget an increase, nobody will know!
