This shawl is a triangular shawl made from one skein of fingering weight yarn which is 100g and 425m. Its an excellent stash busting shawl and a very quick knit. Its a one size shawl and the wingspan is 54 inches. It has a border with tiny hearts.

This is my first pattern and I hope you enjoy knitting it up just as much as I enjoyed designing it. There’s a tutorial which you can watch which explains how the heart stitch is worked on the right side and the wrong side. I knitted the hearts slightly differently than this tutorial but its the same thing and looks exactly the same, too. Here’s the tutorial you can follow and I may upload another from myself, too (just need to figure out how to film overhead):

I’ve knitted up 3 versions so far as it is a very quick knit. I complete a shawl in 4 evenings and I’m not fast at knitting so a fast knitter will find this shawl a quick present to knit up. This is my first design and i hope the errors are to a minimum but if you find any errors or have any questions please feel free to email me on Ravelry or at: Avicennasapothecary@icloud.com

After the initial setup round, the pattern is a 2 row repeat so its easy to memorise. Most of time you’ll be knitting in garter so its great TV knitting and a palette cleanser with lace detail at the border to keep things interesting. Its knit in a way where the maximum number of stitches on your needles never exceeds 100 (with my gauge I can increase to 96 stitches and then have to begin my decreases in order to complete the yarn with 1 skein).

Materials needed:
Needle size: 3.75mm Cable Length: 80cm
Yarn: Fingering weight 4ply 100g 425m (I’ve made several of these shawls and used Fruitful Fusion’s gorgeous yarn the colourways are called ‘Tatreez’, ‘Freedom’ and ‘Avocado’). You can hold the yarn together with a mohair but just make sure that there is enough meterage to complete the shawl. Alternatively, you can hold 2 fingering weight yarns together.

Gauge: 21 rows 32 stitches

Stitch Markers: 3 (optional but help to keep track of the pattern)

Progress keeper: 1 (optional but helps to keep track of the right side of the pattern)

Weighing scales: weigh your yarn and keep increasing until you have used 50g after which begin the decreases. If your yarn weighs 104g, do not be tempted to increase until you’ve used 52g as I have found that my gauge loosens whilst doing the decreases and I tend to use more yarn.
