Materials and Measurements

Note: There will be enough leftover yarn from C2 to add more rows if desired.

Needle Sizes

• US Size 5 (3.75mm) circular needle, long enough to accommodate the large number of stitches.
• Tapestry needle for finishing.

Instructions Overview

• Shawl: The shawl is worked flat, starting at the top center with a few stitches and increasing regularly to form a crescent shape. The eyelet stripes add texture and visual interest, while garter stitch ridges provide a simple and relaxing knitting experience.

Finishing

• Blocking: Gently handwash the shawl, press out excess water using a towel, and lay flat to dry. Use blocking mats and pins or wires to stretch the shawl, opening up the lace details. Weave in all ends.
