This is a good pattern for beginners -- it’s simple without being boring, and can be made as large or as small as you want. The yardage shown is for the shawl in the photos -- you’ll need less for a smaller shawl, more for a larger one.

The finished size of the shawl shown is 26” long at the center and 49” wide across the top. It used 416 yards of yarn.

Although I have included a gauge for the yarn I used, gauge is not important for this pattern -- it can be knitted with any weight of yarn, with any size needle. I recommend using a needle at the upper range of the suggested needles for the yarn you’re using.

Let me know if you have any problems, and please remember to link your project to the pattern -- I love looking at what people are knitting with my patterns! And join my group for notices about new patterns!
