This shawl design is based on the popular 200 Yard Scarf that I designed last year. It is versatile and easy to knit, with a lovely scalloped edging that is worked sideways.
Then stitches are picked up along the edging and the shawl is knitted from the bottom up using short rows.
A mistake rib pattern ends the stockinette panel to ensure that the shawl doesn’t curl back on itself around the neckline.
