Showcase shawl

This shawl was designed to showcase a beautiful new range of multicoloured lace yarn by Luxury Yarns, with a simple stockinette crescent-like shape and a garter border with the simplest of lace touches.

It uses up every scrap of yarn; being knit side to side you divide your yarn into 3 equal sections by weight so that you can knit until it has (almost!) all gone. You can thus easily resize it to as big or small as you need. As an added bonus this construction means that it give a really wearable length from the minimum of yarn. I used a multicolured lace yarn from Luxury Yarns. Suitable substitues are listed.

Construction, instructions and techniques Just knit and yo sts are used for most of the shawl with one special knit manoeuvre on some rows of the border. Knit side to side so you never have a huge number of sts on the needle.
