Notes

Using up my worsted stash for this one!

The shawl pattern calls for more yardage than what I have, but because I’m using worsted weight yarn, I think it will still be a decent size when finished.

Edit: The finished shawl is the perfect size! I made it through 8 total repeats before running out the yellow. I’m very happy with the end result! I decided not to bother with tassels and fringe because this will be a gift to a family member who isn’t into that “extra” stuff.

Instead, with the leftovers, I am making a matching hat to give to the shawl recipient’s husband! Merry Christmas!

The shawl is done, just waiting to dry as its blocks. I started making the tassels but kind of hate them, so I might do fringe along the edge instead…

I made a matching hat with the leftovers over the last few days. I used a free top-down 1x1 ribbed hat pattern to start and made up the stripes.

  • CO 6 in the round
  • Increase 6 sts every round in ribbed pattern until there are 132 sts.
  • Continue Ribbing for 5.5”
  • Start stripes with CC (keeping in mind it will be folded up so the RS should look like the WS)
  • 3 stripes total
  • Switch to size 6 needles and continue Ribbing in MC for 3/4”, BO.
