Description
This cozy worsted–weight shawl is knit in a basket-weave stitch with several size and color options. It is worked top-down from the center outward in a shallow V.
Skills required: increasing by knitting into the front and the back of a stitch, backwards-loop cast-on, slipping stitches
Sizes: small (152.5 cm across and 54 cm deep after blocking) and large (183 cm across and 61 cm deep after blocking)
Gauge: 17 stitches to 10 cm of garter basket-weave stitch. Gauge is not critical but will affect the finished size and the meterage required
Note: Though conversions to the metric system have been made on this page for your convenience, the pattern itself uses American measurements.

Materials you need at home:
- Approximately 625 m of worsted weight yarn for the small size (185 m of color 1, 165 m of color 2, 230 m of color 3, and 45 m of an accent color) and 880 m for the large (265 m of color 1, 245 m of color 2, and 370 m of color 3). Samples were knit in Cascade 220 (wool), Noro Silk Garden (mohair/silk/wool), and Miss Babs Heartland (merino wool)
- 4.5 mm/US 7 needles, or size needed to obtain gauge. A circular with an 80 cm or longer cable will be best one you have a large number of stitches on the needles
- Needles a size or two larger than your gauge needles, for binding off
