Are you looking for an easy pattern that is not boring to knit for your first shawl? Or are you an experienced knitter and need a quick gift?
Then this is the shawl for you!
The construction is straightforward. The pattern only consists of garter stitch and stockinette plus yarn overs for the increases. The only thing that might be a bit more involved is the icord bind off, but I have included instructions on how to do that.

Now, the only question left is whether you’ll make a double rainbow like me, use the colours of your school or favourite sports club or use up leftovers for the stripes… Whatever you go for, I know your shawl will turn out beautiful and will be just perfect for you.
