Surfing is an oblong shawl knit in the round. The shape is obtained by applying a large number of increases along the center spine to elongate it. I use a fun and unique beaded increase to accomplish the shaping. I also use a unique technique to insert beads at the inner border. Finally, the shawl is finished with an I-Cord bind-off to provide a modern and fresh look.
