1 Make it Mine Shawl Skill level: Easy Sizes: One size Finished Measurements: Width: 23 down center (widest point) Length: 56 wingspan (longest point) Yarn weight: CYCA #3 Lt. Sport Materials Yarn: Bijou Basin Ranch, Lhasa Wilderness (75% yak down and 25% bamboo; 250 yds/ 2.7oz) Color: Continental Blue (A), Dinna Fash (B), and Watercress (C): 1 ball each color Needle: U.S. size 8 (5mm) 40 (100cm) circular needles or size required for gauge Notions: Removable stitch markers, darning needle Gauge 17 sts = 4 (10cm) in Garter st (knit every row) after blocking Notes The color pattern for this shawl is made by changing yarn color every 2 rows until color C is added. It is not necessary to cut the yarn each time you change up to that

2 point. Simply leave the old color hanging at the edge, and after the 1st sl st carry it up when it s time to use it again. When the pattern color sequence changes to 4 rows color C and 2 rows colors A and B cut the yarn and join new color. Yarn over Increase at outside edge every row. First and last 4 stitches and center 2 stitches are garter stitch throughout. To make the yarn overs tighter I knit them through the back loop. If you choose, only do yarn overs on the outside edge every row and do a M1 in the center to make the center increases more tight. Just a suggestion. The shawl is worked back and forth in rows. The circular needle is used in order to hold the full length of the sts.
