Striped Prayer Shawl tutorial


Striped Prayer Shawl

Westport, CT

It's a very easy pattern that uses up odds and ends of yarn. I had about 450 g of yarn in total. I had more of the black (Color A) since it was used for the borders as well.
US Size 15 circular needle
With Color A (double stranded worsted weight BLACK), cast on 58 sts
Knit Garter Stitch border (knit every row) for 10 rows (5 ridges)
Switch to Color B (Homespun in charcoal gray) and knit in stockinette st for 8-10 rows
Switch to Color C (double stranded worsted weight gray mixtures) and knit in stockinette st for 8-10 rows
Continue in this pattern until shawl is approximately 5 feet from cast on edge.
Switch to Color A and knit Garter Stitch border (knit every row) for 10 rows (5 ridges). Bind off loosely.
Along side, pick up approximately 178 sts and knit Garter Stitch border (knit every row) for 10 rows (5 ridges). Bind off loosely.
Repeat side Garter Stitch border for other side.
Weave in all loose ends.
