Overbrook is part of the Neighborhood Knits: Shawls collection, four shawls inspired by Philadelphia neighborhoods.

Color and texture changes travel through this shawl, an asymmetrical triangle worked from tip to base: start with just one stitch and increase all the way to the end.

Garter stitch, eyelet and ridges are finished with a picot bind off.

The finished size has a wingspan of 62” and a back length of 26”, a generous size for wrapping around your shoulders.

A good project for the advanced beginner, basic knit and purl skills are built on with yarn overs to make the eyelet sections.

Needle size is US 5 (3.75mm).
