How to Knit Easy Top Down Shawl Half Hexagon Shape by Kristin Omdahl
Hibiscus Princess Knit Shawl FREE Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl
Worked from the top down, this two skein shawl is very simple to knit and the pattern is very easy to memorize as you go along. The pleated ruffle is easy and makes such a romantic and flirtatious edging. The colors are inspired by my favorite variety of hibiscus flower that grows wild in my neighborhood. This stunner couldn’t be simpler. Scroll down for the written pattern page and embedded video tutorial.

The ruffle : is it sewn to the main part, or do you pick up sts on the cast-off row ?
The ruffle is part of the shawl – no cutting or sewing required.
