Happiness shawl

Happiness shawl

Knitted entirely sideways and all in one piece. Simple garter stitches, switching between 5 different yarns, including two fabulous Chenilles to create textures. There is one surprise though, a pretty stranded flower motif in the middle.

The shape is almost a triangle but with a flat bottom middle. The size measures 72” in overall length and 20” in middle height.

The pattern is written, includes a how to float stitches in the back video link and a chart for the flower motif.
