Dot Shawl

This knitting pattern features an innovative design utilizing P2tog dots instead of traditional bobbles. Importantly, the pattern is worked in a continuous manner without turning, allowing for seamless knitting. To achieve the perfect result, it's essential to wet block your finished shawl. This technique not only helps shape your project into a stunning crescent form, but it also ensures the proper size, eliminates any pulling at the edges, and stretches out the border to prevent curling. When following the specified needle size and completing the appropriate number of rows, your shawl's border will lay flat and beautifully.

As a clarification, don’t forget to include a K1 before MD K2 on line 9. If you're opting to knit the shawlette or smaller size, you'll only need to complete 9 repeats of the dot pattern instead of 10. While 10 repeats are possible, keep in mind that you may run short on yarn.
