This shawl is a wonderfully easy project to knit. It’s even fit for TV knitting! LOL! : :smile:
Top down knitting, oversized eyelets and constant increasing are growing the shawl pretty quickly on what you may call “broom stick needles”. While using big needles like these may be unfamiliar, you’ll get used to them and the reward is a shawl that gets done in no time.
When knitted with the yarn as shown it creates a lot of personality with its color play and open, almost lacy look. The tassels are the icing on the cake and make your shawl truly whimsical. They are also functional, because you can feed them through the oversized eyelets and secure your shawl, even create many looks that way.

The unblocked size is 65“ in at top edge, 77” along bottom border, plus 2 tassels adding 5” each.

Yarn used
This shawl was knitted with a Yarnz2go knit kit. They come with 1 and 1/2 cakes already wound with 5 strands of varying colors, textures and weights (5 x 100 yards) creating a bulky weight. 100 yards for the full cake & 50 yards for the half cake, no need to spend more than you have too. :smile:
