Notes
The perfect beginner shawl and lace project, or a comfort project for the experienced knitter. Shawl is worked from the top down using lifted increases, with a very simple lace worked at the bottom edge. The i-cord bind off gives it a clean finish, though is not as stretchy as some other bind offs. Try working the bind off in a larger needle size if this is an issue, or instead work several rows of garter stitch before casting off. Shawl includes three sizes, the smallest of which should use only 2 skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft.
Techniques
Garter Tab Cast On: Cast on 3 sts. Work in garter stitch (knit both sides) for 10 rows. Next RS row, knit 3 sts, turn the work, pick up and work one stitch for each garter ridge, turn work and pick up and knit 3 sts along cast on edge. I-Cord Bind Off: At the beginning of the row, cast on 3 sts onto left hand needle. K2 (cast on sts), sl1, k1 (shawl st), pass slipped stitch over knit shawl st. Transfer 3 sts from right hand needle back onto the left hand needle. Repeat until all sts are bound off. Right Lifted Increase: Knit into the back of the stitch in the row below the stitch on the left hand needle. Left Lifted Increase: Knit into the back of the stitch two rows below the stitch just knitted on the right hand needle.
