Sofronia

The ultimate in comfort knitting is a shawl in garter stitch: Every row is knit, gauge is less critical than the finished fabric, and any finished size is the perfect size. Sometimes, though, garter stitch needs to be dressed up a bit. This shawl combines the ease of garter stitch with the bling of beaded bobbles. Even better? You can use any skein of yarn in any weight -- just adjust your needle size to get a fabric you like.

To knit this shawl, you need to know how to knit and purl, work knit front and back (kfb) and knit front/back/front (kfbf) increases, work a double decrease (sk2p), and place a bead on a stitch. The beads placed on the bobbles are optional; instructions are given in the pattern for omitting them.

This shawl is intended to be knit until you are almost out of yarn or are happy with the size.
