THE RECIPE: the shawl is incredibly simple, but as someone usually asks for a pattern on my improvised projects, I remembered to make a note of what I did. If anyone would like to make a similar shawl, feel free to use this as a starting point.

Ingredients:

• 4mm circular needles used to knit flat
• 4ply/sock yarn in two different colours - I used around 20g of the plain cream (yarn A) and 80g of the variegated yarn (yarn B)
• 2 stitch markers, darning needle for sewing in ends

I really wanted to knit a picot bind off but it didn’t work with this yarn, so I used a crochet bind off with a 6mm hook. Next time I make this, I’m using a plain yarn and a picot bind off!
