• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches using your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches. (You should have 3 stitches on your needle.)
3. Row 2: K1, yarn over (yo), knit to the end of the row. (You will now have 4 stitches.)
4. Increase Stitches: Repeat Row 2 until you have 150 stitches on your needle. This will create the triangular shape of your shawl.
5. Change to Deep Orange Yarn: Switch to your deep orange yarn for the next section.
6. Row 3: K1, yo, k2tog (knit two together), knit to the end of the row. This will help maintain the stitch count while adding texture.
7. Repeat Row 3: Continue repeating Row 3 for a total of 10 rows, maintaining the deep orange color.
8. Change to Soft Pink Yarn: Switch to your soft pink yarn.
9. Row 4: K1, yo, k2tog, knit to the end of the row.

16. Repeat Row 6: Continue repeating Row 6 for a total of 10 rows, using the rich burgundy color.
17. Bind Off: Once you have completed all the rows, bind off your stitches loosely to ensure the edge of the shawl remains flexible.
18. Create Fringe: Cut 10-inch strands of each color yarn. Attach the fringe along the two shorter sides of the shawl, alternating colors for a beautiful gradient effect.
19. Block the Shawl: Finally, block the shawl to measurements to enhance the drape and ensure it lays beautifully.
