Moonbow

Moonbow is an elongated crescent-shaped shawl made with worsted weight yarn. The slipped stitch pattern on the body makes it especially suitable for tonal or slightly variegated yarns, and the mesh stitch along the bottom border is knit at the same time as the body.

Because of its sideways tip-to-tip construction, the pattern can be easily modified for different shapes, sizes, and yarn weights. Exact stitch and row counts are given to achieve the sample size/shape made in worsted weight. For those who would like to substitute a different weight yarn or make the shawl larger, instructions are also given by what percentage of your total yarn you should use in each section.

Suggestions are also given on which sections to knit to achieve several different shapes (deeper crescent, asymmetrical triangular, triangular, and elongated triangular shawls).
