Beautiful. Easy. Simple. Timeless.

The BEST Shawl is generously sized, which provides you with many fashionable options for wearing it - you can wrap it dramatically around your shoulders, or casually around your neck.
It is destined to become your favorite shawl!
As written, finished size is 15” wide x 70” long, after blocking.
Size can easily be adapted, but making it wider and/or longer will require additional yarn.

Recommended gauge is 5 stitches per inch, in stockinette stitch.
Recommended needle is size 7, or size needed for gauge.
Since this is not a fitted garment, gauge is not critical.
I chose a needle larger than the yarn label suggests, for a nice drape to the fabric.

Skills required are casting on, knitting, increasing (YO),
decreasing (K2tog), and binding off.
The BEST Shawl is worked flat, and benefits from blocking, to show off the beautiful stitch pattern.

Enjoy knitting it, and be sure to post photos of your projects!
