A perfectly shaped stockinette crescent with no hump.

Worked in 2 colors, this crescent shaped shawl features a modified garter-tab Cast On with shaping that eliminates the dreaded hump that often forms on this type of shawl.

Worked mostly in stockinette stitch, you get to combine fairly mindless knitting with the occasionally added texture of a simple stitch that only uses only one strand of yarn per row (no stranding!)

Want a bigger shawl? You’ll be able to add more rows by working more repeats of Section 3. This will require more yardage.
