Amount of Yarn Needed
Knitting: 3 skeins, 6 oz. each or 185 yards for 54 or 57 stitches
Crocheting: 4 skeins. 6 oz. each or 185 yards for 60 stitches
Knitting Directions
Cast on stitches in multiples of three – 54, 57, or 60.
First row: k3, p3 to end.
Second row: p3, k3 to end.
When in doubt, always start the next row with the opposite stitch of what you see. For instance, if the first stitch on the needle is a knit, then start with a purl. KNIT THE PURLS AND PURL THE KNITS.
Note: If you cast on 57 stitches or 63 stitches, you will always start with a knit.
Before you begin your third skein, set aside the yarn you will need for making the fringe for both ends of the shawl. The length depends on how long you want the fringe - between 3-8 inches. Then knit until you finish up the yarn to your desired length. Knit until the piece measures from wrist to wrist, or approx. 58 inches long. Bind off with a knit row.
Fringe: Divide the lengths of yarn in half and slip knot them to the ends, evenly spaced.
