**It's totally off - 50%!
Because ... cold outside!**
It’s a perfect shawl for lace beginners, easy to make and cozy to wear. I knitted this version in DK weight yarn and it worked up quickly. Two version are given in the pattern but you can easily adjust the number of repeats to make a shawl to suit you and your yarn.
The patterns are easily memorized and quick to knit, but the large lace motifs and garter border make for a gorgeous and eye-catching combination.
Shawl is classic top-down shawl, wich is worked in one piece and consists of two identical triangles, with a single spine stitch running down the center. Lacy blooms growing within diamond motifs.
Most of your shawl you will be increasing 4 stitches every right side row: one st on the right edge, two stitches in the center and one stitch on the left edge. Shawl begins with Garter Tab cast on and followed by a lace stitch pattern with a big swath of garter stitch at the end. Also, at the end you have the option to add big tassels.
**You get two shawl instructions:** **One** (grey with mustard tassels) is knitted with DK yarn and large Garter St border and **Two** (yellow) knitted with Sport weight yarn and finished after lace part
This pattern is fully written and also includes charted instructions. You can easily adjust the number of repeats to make a shawl to suit you and your yarn. You can repeats Part B (repeating lace part) as many times as you like. You can also work more or less repeats of The Garter Section to add more or less garter to the border.

**Needles:** 4mm (US 6) circular needles 32“ (80cm). Or whatever size needles it takes you to get right gauge
