This shawl is worked from the top down in meditative garter stitch. And at the end you work an applied garter border instead of binding off. It’s really fun and very easy, I made a tutorial if you’ve never done it before :)

SKILL LEVEL:
Very easy! It comes with video tutorials for the garter tab cast on and the applied border that make it so easy to knit.
