Set up row 3 k1, kfb, k1, *k2tog, p1 (see notes below)*, repeat ** to last st, k1 = 21 sts

Notes: k2tog - you are knitting together a knit stitch and one yarn over from row 2
p1 – you are purling the second yarn over from row 2

Pattern:

Row 2 k1, kfb, k to end

P1 – you are purling the second yarn over from row 11

Each pattern repeat = increase of 6 sts

Repeat pattern rows 1 – 12 as many times as your yarn will allow. Make sure to leave about 10gm of yarn
for the final repeat of rows 1 to 10. Finish on row 10 and cast off all stitches loosely.

Cast off method I use. Feel free to use your preferred method.

Knit 2 stitches. *Insert left needle in to the front of the 2 stitches on the right needle and knit them
together, one stitch remains. Knit 1*, you now have 2 stitches on the right needle. Repeat ** until only
1 stitch remains on right needle, thread yarn through and cut yarn.

100gm (400m) will give approximately 20 repeats.

Finish by weaving in ends.

Block or not – the decision is yours.

If blocked, the shawl will measure approximately 29” x 34” (73 x 86cm).

If you want to add a bit of sparkle to your shawl place a bead before casting off the 6 sts on row 11.
