Maria v2 shawl is knit from the neck down, starting with a different kind of tab.

The original was done in worsted weight yarn (shocking, I know). I used 4.5mm needles.

I think the best yarn weights for this shawl would be anything from sports up.
As usual, gauge isn’t that important.
You will need to know how to pick up stitches, work on knit on edging and do right and left loop increases.

Due to the never ending ST st, the pattern is quite forgiving and small mistakes can be fixed with little to no tinking (or frogging).

You will also need st markers (the open type) and a stitch holder (or lengths of scrap yarn).

Errata:

first row of chart two should read 6 sts on the ST st field (it says 7)
