Shawl knitted in YarnAddict Organic Merino 4ply

Notes:

This shawl is worked in two halves and then grafted together at the end. It is worked in garter

stitch throughout and features a pretty lace border. It is easy to substitute the yarn. The sample is

knitted in 4ply/fingering weight yarn but any yarn weight can be used. Adjust the needle size to

suit your yarn and knit the first half until you've used up half your yarn, then repeat for the second

half.

Needed:

200 gr 4ply/fingering weight yarn or sock yarn

4mm/US6 circular needles (straight needles can be used if preferred)

stitch marker

blunt sewing needle

stitch holder or waste yarn

Work set up chart once, then work main chart as many times as required.

Continue working as established until you have 110 sts before the marker or until you've used up

holder or waste yarn.

Rep for second half of shawl.

Grafting:

When both halves are finished, place sts back on ndls. Hold ndls parallel to each other so that the

borders match. Graft pieces together as follows:

*Insert sewing ndl into first st on front ndl kw and slip this st off the ndl. Insert the sewing ndl into

the next st on the front ndl pw and leave this st on the ndl. Insert sewing ndl into first st on the

back ndl kw and slip this st off the ndl. Insert the sewing ndl into the next st on the back ndl pw

and leave this st on the ndl. Rep from * until all sts are grafted tog.

Finishing:

Weave in all loose ends. Soak shawl until thoroughly wet. Squeeze out excess water by rolling

shawl up in a towel. Lay shawl on a flat surface and stretch out to size and pin in place, make sure

you pull out the points of the border and pin these in place. Leave to dry. Unpin when dry.
