The Icicle Shawl is a wide, shallow crescent Shawl that is ideal for layering and showcasing special skeins of yarn. The stitch pattern features long lines of icicles on a garter stitch background and an icicle inspired picot cast-off border.

This elegant shawl is knitted from the top centre downwards in one piece, starting with a garter stitch tab. After set-up, this shape is formed by increasing 4 sts on every RS row and 2 sts on every WS row.

The main stitch patterns used in this shawl are:
k: knit: p: purl; 
yo: yarn over.
