This beginner friendly shawl is knit flat on a size 8 needle with worsted weight yarn so it works up very quickly. 2 special stitches (double dropped yarn overs and a 2 stitch repeat slip stitch) keep knitters of all levels engaged. The opportunity to play with colors to create a mood allows the knitter to step out of a “color rut” and really engage with their work. The shawl size is easily adjusted by adding or subtracting a few 4-row pattern sequences. Because the shawl is primarily knit using a 4 row repeat pattern, it is perfect for TV knitting or car knitting.
