Smilla

This wintery triangular shawl is a quick and fun knit designed for two skeins of fingering weight yarn. The center star is knit in the round, minimizing the use of purl stitches, followed by lots and lots of garter stitch. The pattern contains fully written instructions complimented with a chart for the center star. (It is not necessary to read charts.)
