Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight yarn in gradient cool ocean blues, approximately 800 yards.
• Knitting Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) knitting needles.
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches onto your knitting needle.
2. Row 1: Knit all 3 stitches.
3. Row 2:
   • Knit 1 stitch (K1).
   • Yarn over (yo) to create an increase.
   • Knit to the end of the row.
4. Increase Stitches: Repeat Row 2 until you have 200 stitches on your needle. This will create the triangular shape of the shawl.
5. Next Row:
   • Knit 1 stitch (K1).
   • Yarn over (yo) to increase.
   • Knit 2 stitches together (k2tog) to decrease.
   • Knit to the end of the row.
6. Continue Pattern: Keep alternating between increasing (Row 2) and maintaining the stitch count (Next Row) until the shawl measures approximately 60 inches from the cast-on edge. This will ensure a generous size for your shawl.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off your stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the shawl.
8. Create Fringe:
   • Cut lengths of yarn measuring 12 inches.
   • Fold each piece in half.
   • Using a crochet hook, attach the folded end along the two shorter sides of the shawl by pulling the loop through the edge and then pulling the ends through the loop to secure.
   • Space the fringe approximately 1 inch apart for a balanced look.
9. Block the Shawl: To enhance the drape and open up the lace, block the shawl by gently stretching it to the desired shape and securing it in place until dry.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Enchanted Ocean Fairycore Shawl. Enjoy wearing your beautiful creation or gifting it to someone special!
