This is a side-to-side crescent shawl. This is a quick knit. Stripes worked while carrying your yarn so only ends to weave in are at cast on and bind off. A small section of mosaic knitting, created with slipped stitches, so you only have one color to work with on each row. Once finished add some fringe, and done!
- You can make it with the 14” depth, or you can increase the depth by following the instructions, however, that will change your yardage.
- You can use any weight of yarn, it does not have to be Fingering, however, that will change your yardage.
