Lake Michigan Mermaid

A shawl that is as adaptable as you need it to be without any purl stitches to slow you down and a fun "scales" stitch that does not require any fuss!

Notes: · Shawl has a crescent shape construction and is knit flat from one side to another side. · Shawl size is adjustable. Simply add or omit stripes for desired size. · Stitches used to complete shawl are: knit stitch (k), knit into the front and back of stitch (kfb), knit two stitches together (k2tog), and slip stitch (sl). · Slip stitches purl-wise in pattern. · All odd numbered rows are right side, and all even numbered rows are wrong side. · Two yarns are used, one gradient (contrasting color) and one solid (main color). However, any yarn colors can be used, it does not have to be a gradient. · I suggest using an interchangeable needle, so the cable between the needles can be easily changed to manage the increased stitches near the end of the shawl pattern. · Gauge is not critical for this project.
