The tension guide is 14 sts and 19 rows over 4inches/10cm

Using eyelas type yarn cast on 115sts. Work in St st for 10 rows. Change to contrast yarn and work 10 rows St st . Repeat 3 times then change to eyelash yarn and work 8 rows St st. Cast off.

Begining from cast on row, work blossom trim (or edging of your choice) along all edges.

Easy Lace Triangle Shawl - Pattern

It's Finished!
All be it a few hours late ( i did finish it on time but the light wasn't good enough for photo), here is the finished Shawl.
And as promised here is the pattern :

With Mohair type yarn and 6mm needles  (tension doesn't realy matter with this pattern)

I cast on 2 stitches
Row 1 Knit
Row 2 Purl
Row 3 Knit front and back in First stitch, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit front and back in last stitch
Row 4 Purl
Row 5 Knit f&b,*( yarn over, knit 2 tog,) repeat from * to last stitch knit f&b
Row 6 Purl
Repeat rows 5 & 6 until desired lenghth ( you may need to transfer stitches to circular needle if there becomes too many  for straight needles)
Cast off loosely.









Add fringe by cutting strands of yarn 24cm 10'' place 3 strands (more if you wish) together fold in half, thread loop end through egde of shawl, thread cut end through loop and pull to form knot.


It realy is all about personal choice - how long you knit the shawl and  how often you place the strands for the fringe.
