Directions
The shawl is started at the neck and knitted back and forth in knit and purl stitches. Work garter ridges along both sides as edges. And in every 7th stripe, knit a row of holes. The shawl is divided into 5 sections, separated by 4 ‘strands’, consisting of 2 sts each. Increases are made with different frequencies along the different strands and these increases are made with yarn overs forming fine holes. There are also 2 ‘strands’ just inside the garter ridge edges, where increases are made.
The shawl is reversible. It is finished with a fine knitted lace, that is knitted on at the end, along the edge at the bottom while binding off.
