A simple crescent shaped garter-knit shawlette with a cute, contrasting lacework border.

THE STORY
The first time I have the opportunity to use a new yarn, especially that from an indie dyer, I like to pay homage to the dyer. This shawl is dedicated to Republic of Wool and the beautiful creator of the yarn - Michele (formerly Kisskisskiddo on Ravelry).

NOTES

• This shawlette is knit in garter stitch, is constructed in a crescent shape and worked flat. Written instructions are provided for the body of the shawl; written and charted instructions are provided for the shawl border. Charted instructions are found on page 3.
• Pattern repeats on the chart are indicated by a red border; repeats in the written instructions are enclosed in bolded square brackets.
• This shawl best fits a 40” circular needle however the user may substitute longer or shorter needles for comfort.
• It is recommended to clip a removable stitch marker to the RS of the work to differentiate from the WS as this is a garter knit shawl.
• Although gauge is not critical for this project, a different gauge than noted will result in the use of more (or less) yardage.
• The size of the shawl can be easily adjusted by adding (or removing) increments of 20 sts to the Shawl Body stitch count before working the Shawl Border.
