Over the Rainbow Shawl





I knit this little shawl for Kayla in two evenings. It can be made as big or as small as you wish. The pattern notes are rough and it can be changed to suit you. Yarn and needle size are not important to this shawl nor is gauge. I used 100% lambswool dyed by myself (approx 330 m) and 3.75mm needles.

Pattern:

C/o 7 stitches, k for two rows

* Increases are on every rs row by doing yo’s after two stitches, one either side of centre stitch and one two stitches before the end.

1. Knit in stocking stitch (ss) for as many rows as pleases you.

2. Knit (garter stitch) two rows, knit one row of yo k2tog, knit two rows (eyelet section)

3. Knit another ss section

4. Knit 4 rows moss (seed) stitch

5. Knit another ss section

6. Knit another eyelet section

7. Knit another ss section

For a bigger version just repeat steps 1 - 7 before the garter section.

8. Knit in garter stitch for as long as you want

Knit an eyelet row, knit one row, knit another eyelet row, knit three rows garter stitch and cast off.

Block lightly and enjoy your shawl :)
