🧠 Before You Start
Each loop in the yarn acts as a stitch.
You’ll create the shawl by pulling loops through other loops using your fingers.
🧩 Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Foundation Row
Start with a small base:
- Count about 3 loops
- Leave space for shaping the triangle
2. Increase Rows (Creating the Triangle Shape)
This is the key part of the shawl:
- At the beginning or end of each row, add one extra loop
- Continue pulling loops through as usual
- Keep increasing every row
👉 This creates the classic triangular shawl shape. Continue until you have about 30 loops across the top edge.
3. Work Straight
- Once you reach your desired width
- Knit one row without increasing
This helps stabilize the shape.
4. Finishing Off
- Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail
- Pull the last loop through and tighten
- Tuck in the loose ends neatly
✨ Optional: Add Fringe
For a more stylish look:
- Cut equal strands of yarn
- Attach them along the bottom edge
- Tie securely
This adds a cozy, boho feel to your shawl 💕
