• Product description

  “This half-circle shawl is knitted in one piece from the top down, composed of Moon and Stars. The double garter stitch Moon motif is achieved by using the double-point sliding technique alternating Strand A and Strand B, knit every row. The double garter stitch makes the fabric light, soft and puffy. The first Stars motif is a 5-into-5 lace stitch, and the second Stars motif is 5-into-3 lace stitch. The shawl is finished with double garter stitch edging to echo the Moon motif.” − Shui Kuen Kozinski

  CONSTRUCTION

  • Shawl is worked flat from the center top to the bottom edge.
  • The Moon Motif and the Edging are worked alternately with Strand A (from ball A) and Strand B (from ball B), using the double-pointed sliding technique. This technique is worked by sliding the stitches to the opposite end of the circular needle, so that two WS or RS rows can be worked in a row.
