Eyelet fan shawl



2 skeins of buttery soft baby yarn
US 6 knitting needles

This shawl is a generous 22" X 68".
It's a super simple addictive pattern that is classy for any occasion.
You may want to use stitch markers to help you stay accurate with the pattern.




CO 135 Sts and K 5 rows.

6th row *K 2 tog, K 2, YO, K 1, YO, K 2, K 2 Tog, repeat from * across row.
7th row P across row. Repeat the 6th & 7th rows 7 times.
Next 6 rows K.
Repeat from 6th row until work measures 68" from beginning, BO.




Fringe: Wind yarn over a 10" piece of cardboard, cut one end. Use 5 strands, double in half and knot through center st of last 2 rows at lower edge of each solid section and each lacy section ( every 5th st ) across end.

Then take half of one group of fringe and half of next group of fringe , knot together 1/2" from 1st row of knots twice, ( I repeated 2 more times ) trim evenly. Repeat fringe on opposite end. I also put a knot at the end of each yarn to prevent fraying.
