The whole shawl is knit in one block of stockinette stitch, then when you cast off, you are casting off 3sts then dropping 2x stiches and you unravel them down to the cast on edge giving that lovely ladder effect. I am going to do this shawl in a finer yarn on the knitting machine. Thank you for the wonderful design.novicecrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581125492498763461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38745160.post-32279752633214546382011-09-29T18:06:41.034-05:002011-09-29T18:06:41.034-05:00I loved this look and thought it would be a really...I loved this look and thought it would be a really pretty gift....or one to keep for myself.
