Yarn from your stash. The Open Source Shawl can be knitted with any any yarn. I’ve used cotton, angora, mohair, qiviut, merino…

Any colour(s) you like – though I prefer solid colours for lace knitting.

The Open Source Shawl is knit top down, from the center of the nape, with increases on every other row plus a few increase sections. I’ve chosen easy lace patterns – the patterns are knit on the right side only, all wrong sides are purled – and they are easy to memorize.
