Fofo it’s a crescent shaped shawl knitted top-down. The main body combines a lovely flowery stitch on the center section and a wavy pattern on the sides, flowing into a delicate lace edging embellished with bobbles and finished with a picot.

About yarn: I used 408.1 m/ 446.3 yds of Garnstudio Drops Lace and 418.6 m/ 457.8 yds of Garnstudio Drops Kid-silk held together (both lace weight yarn) but you may use only one thread and a different weight yarn (fingering would be a great choice). Size is easily adjustable by adding more pattern repeats of Chart B.

Level: Intermediate

Skills needed: provisional cast-on, cable cast-on, Bobble, K, P, YO, Ssk, K2tog, M1R, M1L, S2kp, picot BO or elastic BO, M3, M7 (explained into pattern). Block the shawl and woven in ends.
