Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky (size 6) yarn in earthy neutral colors such as taupe, sand, and olive.
• Needles: US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles.
• Scissors: For cutting yarn.
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches using your US size 15 knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight, as you will need to knit them comfortably.
2. Row 1: Knit all 3 stitches. This will form the first row of your shawl.
3. Row 2:
   • Knit 1 stitch (K1).
   • Yarn over (yo) by wrapping the yarn around the needle from back to front.
   • Knit to the end of the row. You should now have 4 stitches on your needle after this row.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until the shawl measures 60 inches from the cast-on edge, or until you reach your desired length. Make sure to check your gauge; you should have approximately 8 stitches and 12 rows for every 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off your stitches loosely. This will allow the edge of your shawl to have a nice stretch and drape.
6. Add Fringe:
   • Cut lengths of yarn measuring 12 inches each. You will need several pieces depending on how full you want the fringe to be.
   • To attach the fringe, fold each piece of yarn in half and pull the loop through the edge stitch of the shawl.
   • Then, pull the ends of the yarn through the loop and tighten gently. Repeat this process across the shorter edges of the shawl, spacing the fringe evenly.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends of yarn from your cast-on and bind-off. This will give your shawl a neat finish.
