Expand begins with just one rectangle. Using Entrelac technique, the knitter builds the shawl rectangle by rectangle, row by row. An icord is applied to encompass the final array. This is a great project for knitters who have begun to explore Entrelac or are looking for a mini-shawl project that’s a little extra. Knit up in mYak yarn as recommended, or experiment with a scrappy version!
