Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight, 100% merino wool
• Knitting Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches using your US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles. Make sure your cast-on is loose enough to allow for flexibility in the shawl.
2. Row 1: Knit the first stitch (K1), then yarn over (yo) to create an increase, and knit to the end of the row. This will start forming the triangular shape of your shawl.
3. Repeat Row 1: Continue repeating Row 1 until you have a total of 150 stitches on your needle. This may take some time, but be patient as the shawl will grow beautifully.
4. Next Row: For the next row, knit the first stitch (K1), yarn over (yo), then knit two stitches together (k2tog) to decrease, and knit to the end of the row. This will add a lovely texture to your shawl.
5. Repeat the Decrease Row: Continue repeating this decrease row until your shawl measures 60 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to measure carefully to ensure the length is just right.
6. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off your stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the shawl. A loose bind-off will help the edges to lay flat and look neat.
7. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle to give your shawl a polished look. Finally, block your shawl to shape it perfectly. This will enhance the lace pattern and give it a beautiful finish.

Now you have your very own Little Fictions Shawl! Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to someone special. Happy knitting!
