Notes 

This pattern is considered the perfect beginner shawl and lace project, offering a gentle introduction to those new to knitting, while also serving as a comforting project for more experienced knitters. The shawl is worked from the top down utilizing lifted increases to create a graceful shape. A very simple lace design at the bottom edge adds an elegant touch without overwhelming beginners. The i-cord bind off gives the shawl a beautifully clean finish, although it may be less stretchy than some option. If stretch is a concern for your finished piece, try using a larger needle size for the bind off, or consider knitting several rows of garter stitch before casting off. The pattern includes three versatile sizes, with the smallest size requiring only 2 skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft, making it both economical and enjoyable to knit.
