Garter Stitch Shawl Pattern
size 6 mm (US 10) needles (I used a circular for the extra length)
Worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Supersaver in "Painted Desert") I used about 3.5 135 g skeins.
Cast on 2 stitches.
Row 1: K into front and back of first stitch; K1.
Row 2 & all even rows: knit across
Row 3: K into front and back of first st; K1, Knit into front and back of last st.
Row 5: K into front and back of first st; K3, Knit into front and back of last st.
Row 7: K1, K into front and back of next st; K to last 2 st; K into front and back of next st; K1
Row 8: K across
Repeat Row 7 & 8 until shawl is wide enough. End after a Row 8. (I increased to 229 stitches.)
Cast off. At last cast off stitch, do not pull through and fasten off; instead use this as your first chain for the crocheted edging.
Edging: Do the edging of your choice or:
G hook
Make one round in single crochet on edges of shawl. Do 3 sc in corner spaces.
To make the lacy edging, [ch 4, skip next 2 sc; sc in 3rd sc]. Repeat all around. When you get to where you started, slip your last stitch through the first sc of the round, then fasten off.
