“Folderol” means foolish nonsense, but this worsted crescent shawl is no trifle; the cozy wrap is made extra thick and warm with triple folds, curved gently with short rows, and finished neatly with applied I-cord. Knit from the bottom up and given texture and shape with tucks and decreases, the Folderol shawl is completely reversible and absolutely worthy.

Techniques & Skills Used: knit/purl, tucks/picking up stitches, decreasing, cable & provisional CO, applied I-cord.

Size: one size, 58” from end to end and 10” deep.

Us 7 47” circular needle for picking up stitches.
