The Shawls

For my wedding I made three shawls for my bridesmaids as a thank you for being there for me. I have been knitting them since February. I took a few patterns from different places to create this look and I think they came out beautifully.

Pattern:

Each shawl was made with different yarn- I used lace weight for the green one and sock weight for the grey and tan coloured ones. The pattern for the sock weight is bellow.

Abbreviations:

S1- slip one stitch

PSSO- pull slipped stitch over

PM- place marker

K2tog- knit two stitches together

SM- slip marker

YO- Yarn Over

3.5 mm needles
