"I haven't made it because I cast on and by row 3 the pattern is over because there are not enough stitches to complete that row based on the instructions given, you need to have 8 stitches at that point and there are only 6 stitches. The pattern has to increase, but for every increase there is a decrease, therefore you can never have more than 6 stitches on the needle. I'm going to amend the pattern, since I like the look of the two colours and just do a yo increase until my desire length, then do the decrease for the second half to finish it."

"This pattern is about 15 years old, so it only stands to reason that some colours or yarns may have been discontinued in that time. Typically in knitting pattern acronyms are not included unless it is a new stitch or relatively new stitch pattern, some beginner patterns do include an explanation of the acronyms, but this is not a beginner pattern it is an easy pattern, so it would be uncommon for them to be included."

"Did not watch the video about how to carry the yarn. Mine measures 5 1/2 inches so did I misunderstand some of the instructions?"

The Easiest Shawl

"Every knitter needs a project so easy they can knit it in front of the TV and not worry about making a mistake. This is that project. I set out to see how big a garter stitch shawl one of those Caron Cakes would make (it’s just under 400 yards). Using ALL of the yarn and size 9 needles, it came out to be 50″ across tip to tip, and 20″ top to bottom. The worsted weight yarn worked great with the size 9 needles, giving it drape and not stiff, but not too open either. You can use any size yarn you like, just make sure to use needles appropriate to the yarn. This makes a great stash buster project if you switch colors every few rows!"

Yes this shawl is easy but the colors used make it look anything but easy. Thank you for the suggestions, including the one about the different colored markers. How generous of the designer for doing that! This will go on my list, not only because it is easy but I love shawls. It is great to make for the charity knitting as well. Thank you!
