1(2) Skeins of Cascade Ecological Wool 478 yards (437 metres) / 250g (8.82 oz) Gauge: 10.5 sts = 4" on 6.5 mm (US10.5) needles in stockinette stitch I've spent a lot of time down by the lake this summer, often late at night. What started off as a smaller kerchief style shawl to warm my own back, quickly became a much larger piece after realizing there was someone I wanted to share these late night shorelines with. Inspired by Gansey sweaters, this shawl uses only simple Knits and Purls, with occasional slipped stitches, to form chunky textures. The small size will cover your back; spread out, the large size can become a warm layer to share with a loved one, or you can wrap yourself up in it when you're alone... Add buttons and loops to the Large, and it turns into a versatile poncho. SETUP: Cast on 3 stitches. Knit 6 rows (3 ridges).

OPTIONALMODIFICATIONS:
If you have leftover yarn, cut it into 9" long strips. Use these to fringe every third stitch of your cast off edge. Be sure to place a fringe on the centre stitch, and work outwards from there. On the sample which is the Large size, I used three braided strands of yarn to create small button loops. This allows the shawl to be buttoned into a poncho when you're not sharing it. Three button loops were created, and sewn onto the following locations: Centred in the first Slipped RibSection Centred in thefourthStockinetteSection Entered inthesecondSeedStitchSection I would recommend trying the shawl on, and being sure it is sitting evenly on your shoulders, and marking where you'd like it to close. I'm a particularly wide-shouldered guy... If you've made it this far, perhaps you'd like to know - the shawl is wonderful when shared!
