Need a quick and simple project to knit on the road or in front of the TV? Want to showcase a sock yarn that’s just too special to be touching the ground all the time? Cirrus works up fast and lets your yarn take center stage. Stripes and a short row scalloped edging keep things interesting. In no time you’ll have a fun, lightweight shawl that’s as easy to wear as it is to knit!

Instructions are written only and include a schematic, as well as guidelines for altering the size of the shawl.

Shown in Qing Fiber Merino Single Ply in Shusui (MC) and Knit Picks Stroll Hand-Painted in Pearlescent Tonal (CC)

Notions: 2 stitch markers (ideally different colors) and yarn needle
