This is a checklist pattern, each row is written out for easier tracking – however, this makes the pattern significantly longer – check to see the pages you want to print before starting.

My mother-in-law, Mae Eichelberger, was a talkative woman, who had a story for everything. A bit like me I suppose. She spent her retirement years volunteering as a “grandma” for younger elementary students. Monitoring the school cafeteria to open milk cartons, working with children who struggled to read, helping with worksheets, and listening to each little story students might have to tell. And she liked pink, with her soft white curls and rosy blushed cheeks it was a color that made her happy and suited her well. This shawl was designed in her memory. She could knit a little and would have loved the simplicity of this design because she would have been able “to manage it.”

PATTERN NOTES: This shawl is worked in one piece, flat, from end to end and includes textured and cable stitches that might resemble carvings. If using indie-dyed yarn you may wish to alternate skeins every RS row to avoid skein-to-skein dye issues.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It takes about 60 grams to complete the ribbing along the edge. So if you’re starting with 330g; your halfway point to begin decreasing is less than 130 grams to be safe.
330 g - 60 g = 270 g ÷ 2 = 135 g
If your skeins are starting with less yardage on them (Most DK weight skeins do then I recommend weighing as you go.)

Make sure you’re getting gauge or you will use up too much yarn.

NOTIONS: Stitch markers, Tapestry needle.
