The shawl is an asymmetric crescent, with some garter, some simple lace, and easy short rows. The shawl can be beaded.

You can work the shawl in a single colour, but you can also use two, three, four, or even five colours.

The measurements for shawls worked according to regular (oversized) instructions are given in centimetres/inches:
Length at top edge: 150 (210) cm / 59” (83”)
Depth: 33 (46) cm / 13” (18”)

For information about the different versions and yarn requirements please check the second page of the pattern located among the photos on the left.

Inner Smile is one of the patterns from the Knit Light e-book.

I strongly recommend working the oversized version. The regular sized shawl looks good, but the oversized is just gorgeous.

The shawl was released as a Mystery Knit-A-Log and was running in this group.

I asked test knitters “What would you say to other knitters about this pattern without revealing any concrete details” and here are some answers:

dashuta: I guess the best characteristic for this pattern would be that I want to knit it again (and not once) in different color combos and in different sizes.

infusionn: A relaxed knitting and a rewarding result.

Rebs16: It was a fun, easy knit with a lot of potential for experimenting with color options. Great everyday shawl.

jurga: Regular size gives quite a narrow shawl, but I love it. It was fun and easy but not boring knitting time.

Rutast: It’s like putting a jigsaw puzzle together or having an exciting and interesting trip.
