Knit 'n Slide

*This top-down shawl is shaped with yarn overs for a long semi-circle shape. The first section uses the knit 'n slide technique, a super easy trick that creates the illusion of 2 rows knit/2 rows purl texture, but you're only knitting! The lacy border features a contrast color and giant yarn over wraps with Westknits shortcut rows to create the large scallops.* **Sizes** Small (Large) **Finished Measurements** 86 (96)" / 218 (244)cm wingspan length, 20 (24)" / 51 (61)cm from CO to BO.

First, knit the row with color A, then slide all the stitches to the other needle and work that same side with color B. Then turn and knit the other side with color A followed by knitting that side again with color B. Circular needles are necessary so the stitches slide to the other needle tip like a typewriter. Colors A & B are used for 1-row stripes. The sample colors in the large speckled size (Night Ride & Oh Snap!) create a beautiful blended effect because they share similar colors. If you have 2 high contrast colors for A & B you will get a striped effect like the smaller gray sample. **Errata** Section 3 Large Size Row 1 (RS) repeat segment to read "repeat from * to last 39 sts ...
