Quick knit DK shawl worked from the bottom up. An easy introduction to lace knitting.

Short rows help shawl become wider.

Specifically designed as a pattern with WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS only and WITHOUT CHARTS.

Features a gathered stitch where you gather five stitches together.

NB: Work a test swatch with your yarn and both 5mm needles and 5.50mm needles to see which tension you prefer.

Average tension knitters will get this shawl out of 400 metres and 5.50mm needles.

There are two cast off options.
Wear the shawl to the front & you will prefer normal cast off as this gives a tighter edge.

Wear off your shoulders & you might prefer stretchy cast off edge to give a wider shawl.
