This easy shawl is ideal for those who have never made a shawl before, or those who are experienced knitters but have a highly coloured yarn that requires a simple pattern to show it off best. It is worked from the top down, and cast off along the long edge.

Gauge is not crucial for this project, however using differently sized needles will result in a differently sized shawl, and may use more or less yarn.
