Whimsical Anna’s shawl
The shawl is knitted from mid front and starts with
only two stitches. In the first part there are regular increases along the
edges to create a nice triangle at the front, it´s then even more gradually
increased to stretch it out.
In the second part the work is divided in two and you
knit one side at a time. During this part it´s increased even more along the
edges while the part close to the neck is decreased to form a nice U-shape. The
further you knit the longer the edges get.
Completely whimsical!
