From my family and friends to the enjoyment knitting brings, I have so many things to be thankful for. This shawl is the accumulation of my gratitude and appreciation for the numerous blessings in my life.

I welcome you to celebrate your blessings through the knitting of your own Thankful shawl. The act of practicing gratitude is a cornerstone of wholehearted living, and as we enter the giving season, I cannot think of a greater virtue to reflect upon in your knitting.

Notes:

• This shawl has a symmetrical triangular construction using M1R and M1L increases on every right-side row.
• Every wrong-side row in the entire shawl is knit across. No purl stitches are used.
• This shawl is a repeat of two sections: garter stitch section and beehive waffle stitch section. Each section is comprised of 10 rows each.
• This pattern is written for three shawl sizes; however, it can be adjusted to any desired size by simply adding or omitting garter stitch and/or beehive waffle stitch sections.
• Gauge is not critical for this project.
