This flirty wrap features an unusual construction method: the “edging” is actually knit first. Fifteen picot-edged half-circles are knit separately in garter stitch, then stitches are picked up to join them and begin the garter stitch base of the shawl. This is a spectacularly fun and festive use of color work and lace in a knit shawl. In one color, you can make this gorgeous shawl with one ball of Be So Fine Yarn, or use a TRIO of TIDBITS to make it in three colors for extra fun! This bottom up construction half-circle shawl moves quickly with easy lace and the shawl is fringed with beautiful crescent motifs.
What you will need:
(1) ball Be So Fine Yarn, shown in TIDBIT TRIO of Crushed Berries, Lilac Memories and Stormy Sea
needle size

What a fun shawl to make! I am a new knitter and had a blast learning how to do the motifs and the technique of a shawl construction from bottom up. I recommend this pattern with 5 stars!
