Construction notes:

This project walks you through a dedicated shawl cast on and the garter tab – two techniques that are quite common in shawl knitting. After finishing the garter tab, the body of the shawl is worked in a simple eyelet pattern. Once the body of the shawl is complete, you’ll work a ribbed border edging before casting off. Once it’s done, we’ll use the magic of blocking to finish your shawl and open up the eyelets.

Sizes and measurements:

One size
Finished wingspan along top edge: 137 cm (54 in)
Finished depth: 50 cm (19.5 in)

Gauge:

14 stitches and 32 rows to 10 cm (4 in) measured over garter stitch after blocking using 5mm (US 8) needles.
