Brightside Shawl

_______________________________________________________________________ **The Brightside Shawl is a triangular wrap featuring simple garter stitch in two alternating colours. The shawl is constructed sideways, progressing seamlessly from tip to tip, working an I-cord boarder along the top edge and slipped stitches along the bottom edge. The slipped stitches are picked up to create a fun decorative border. You can finish the shawl with optional fringe or tassels for a little extra flair!!** _______________________________________________________________________ **Details about the Pattern** * Skill Level: Adventurous Knitter * Instructions are organized into sections, making the pattern easy to follow * Notions: Tapestry needle for weaving in your ends, Stitch Markers: centre marker (1), DS markers (12), Progress Keeper, Crochet hook for fringed version of shawl * Techniques used: Knitting Flat, Garter Stitch Knitting, Grafting I-Cord Tip, Picking Up Selvedge Stitches, Short Rows, I-Cord Bind Off, Fringe or Tassels * Stitches used: knit, purl, k2tog, k2togtbl, k3tog, sl1wyif, sl3wyif, DS (for short rows), ssk, sssk, yo _______________________________________________________________________ **Yarn Requirements:** **Sample 1- Fringed:** **Main Colour:** Spincycle Yarns, Metamorphic in colourway Cool Black 100 g, 400 yds/366 m of DK weight yarn, **2 skeins** **Contrast Colour:** Spincycle Yarns, Dyed In The Wool in colourway Wallflower 50 g, 200 yds /183 m of sport weight yarn, **3 skeins** Gauge: 21 sts x 42 rows = 4x4”/10x10 cm in garter stitch **Sample 2 - Tasselled:** **Main Colour:** Spincycle Yarns, Dyed In The Wool in colourway After Midnight (The Knitting Loft exclusive) 50 g, 200 yds/183 m of sport weight yarn, **3 skeins** **Contrast Colour:** Spincycle Yarns, Dyed In The Wool in Cold Comfort 50 g, 200 yds/183 m of sport weight yarn, **3 skeins** Gauge: 22 sts x 46 rows = 4x4”/10x10 cm in garter stitch *(gauge is not critical for this project but may affect the final size and yarn yds/m)* __________________________________________________________________ This pattern has been professionally tech edited and tested by knitters with various skill levels.
