Fairfax

A perfect shawl when there's a chill in the air, Fairfax is a generous side-to-side crescent shawl knit primarily in garter garter stitch. It is light enough to be worn in Spring and Autumn around the shoulders and long enough to become a snuggly cowl wrapped around the neck in Winter. It's elegance and texture make it a go-to accessory for day-to-evening wear for any body type and/or size.

Fairfax is a side-to-side garter stitch shawl with bias shaping for the "wings" and a short-row center panel. The knit-on Shetland lace edging is joined seamlessly with the lower selvage edge as it is knit.

This shawl could be blocked a bit larger or smaller, but after blocking it is still relatively elastic so additional lengthening is unnecessary. This is not a gauge-dependent pattern. Although the test knits did not require more than 820 yards, this pattern may require a full 876 yards (200g) depending on gauge.
