Step 1

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: About 35" x 80" [89 cm x 203 cm] at longest and widest.
GAUGE: Exact gauge is not essential to this project.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
Yo (yarn over): An increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric, worked as follows:
- Bring yarn to front, between the needles.
- Take yarn to back, over the right hand needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to proceed with the next st as instructed.
NOTES:
- Shawl is worked in one piece, back and forth in rows, from centre back neck downwards.
- Increases are worked to shape the Shawl.
- A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth in rows on the circular needle as if working on straight needles.
