Notes

Another test for Stephanie Lotven. It’s a shawlette, for this test worked as a mini version. The final size in the pattern is larger than this test example.
The edges are worked in a clever way, making the blocking easy. It would also be fun to add a fringe to the edge holes.

For my mini, I worked section 2 to 15 sts (counted in row 4), followed by the decreases in section 3.
I planned to use it for my old bear, but it looked too small before blocking. After blocking it grew a lot though, so now I can tie a little knot to hold it in place at my bear’s neck.

Measurements blocked for my mini:
Long side: 35.5 cm
Short sides: 18.5 cm
Depth at widest point: 7 cm
Gauge blocked with needle 4.0 mm:
20 sts/ 26 rows = 10 cm/ 4”

Needles: 4.0 mm
