Amazing Mitered Shawl

Size: Finished Width About 54 in. (127 cm), measured across top edge; Finished Length About 27 in. (68.5 cm), measured from back neck to lower center edge

Materials:

• LION BRAND AMAZING (Art. #825)
  • #200 Aurora 2 balls
  • #203 Wildflowers 2 balls
  • #206 Arcadia 1 ball
  • #208 Glacier Bay 1 ball
  • or colors of your choice
• LION BRAND knitting needles size 7 (4.5 mm)
• LION BRAND stitch markers
• LION BRAND large-eyed blunt needle

Gauge: 14 sts + 28 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row). Each Rectangle = 3 x 6 in (7.5 x 15 cm).
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to match the gauge, try using smaller size needles; if more stitches and rows, try larger size needles.

Notes
1. Shawl is worked, in a modular fashion, from rows of Rectangles. The first row consists of one
Rectangle, the second row consists of two Rectangles, the third row consists of three Rectangles and so on. Refer to Assembly Diagram for placement of Rectangles.
2. Each Rectangle is made with two miters (angles) formed by working decreases on every other row.
3. Change colors randomly as desired. To change color, cut the old color leaving an 8 in. (20.5 cm) tail then begin working with the new color leaving a beginning tail. You may knot the old and new yarn tails together, if desired. When you have finished knitting, unknot the yarn tails and weave them in.
