I actually started a simple shawl for my self today. It’s a bit modified from a wash cloth pattern. I am knitting it on U.S. size 11 knitting needles. Using some Eco Cloud by Cascade Yarns. Yes, this was the problem yarn of a few weeks ago. I spent about an hour doing sewn together European joins formally called Russian joins. I have not finished the joins, however I did join most of the smaller pieces.
This is meant to be a very relaxing knit.
Sheri’s Simple Shawl
4 skeins of Eco Cloud by Cascade or any yarn from your stash that is 164 yards per 3.5 ounces or 150 meters per 100 grams.
U.S. Size 11 knitting needles with at least a 36 inch cable.
A darning needle to weave in the ends
Cast on 20 stitches in your preferred method.
Rows 1 and 2. Knit Across.
Row 3 and all rows except the bind off row. Knit unit you have 1 stitch remaining, yarn over, knit 1.
When you have 4 times the last knit row do a loose bind off.
This will give you a nice subtle edge.
Pictures to follow. Please share the link to my pattern with your friends rather than photocopying the pattern. You many not give this pattern away with a yarn purchase, you must give the link. I will give you the total number of rows later as I just started this today.
