Loop Shawl

Description

A happy and very fun shawl to knit, just in time for Autumn. It begins at the top and forms a crescent shape, ending with garter st and an i-cord bindoff. Only 1 color yarn is used at a time. Contrast yarn is carried up the side where it blends into the edge of the shawl.

As with the Dot Shawl, my aim was to use variegated yarns in a different way that shows off their beautiful colors without overwhelming the design.

Amounts in parentheses are for full sized shawl, lesser amounts are for shawlette.

Pattern Requirements

1 US 6 (4mm) and 1 US 4 or 5 circular needle (for the garter st) 24” or longer (circular needle just to contain number of stitches – it is not done in the round.)
