This lightweight shawl is titled ‘yo’ due to all the numerous yarn-overs that are used to create the holey effect. One often needs a little something light but warm to wrap around bare shoulders when out and about, in the Devon country-side or dashing into town for a quick peruse around the shops, on beach walks, or at parties. The main body of the wrap has a moss stitch border and one end has a rather delicate guppy tail flare (or you may prefer flares on both ends).

Pattern note: Being bold enough to work at a very loose gauge is beneficial. What may seem like over-cooked noodles on your needles will, after blocking, produce a light and airy fabric, good for trapping air and warmth without bulk.
