Pin this free knit shawl pattern!
Even though this is not quite the shawl I sat down to make {you can read more about that HERE}, I do really enjoy it. Theres just something about the offset eyelets of this fabric. It has a very traditional feel but in a ‘doesn’t take itself too seriously’ kind of way. *gasp* I just had a thought– I so so so hope one of you darling, fabulous knitters makes this in a gorgeous halo-y cream. Something like- Berroco Folio…. Ooo that would be lovely. Yes, I would really love to see this in a solid or tonal yarn. Tag me or the shawl in your pictures so I can see. #marymaryshawl
PATTERN
Mary Mary
A knit pattern, by Rebecca Velasquez
#MaryMaryShawl
YARN: Fingering weight (#1 superfine), 440 yds [402 m]; Shown: Malabrigo Sock yarn (850 – Archangel)
NEEDLES: US 7, [4.5 mm] 22″ [56 cm] circular needle; circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. For this project, I used my super-pointy ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace Interchangeables
NOTIONS: Tapestry needle, tape measure; for blocking, I use & recommend: blocking mats, Take it Personally Knit & Lace Blocking Wires Kit
GAUGE: Exact gauge is not crucial; to achieve measurements shown- 18 sts and 28 rows = 4″ [10 cm] in stitch pattern
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: 67 ½” [171.5 cm] wingspan x 28” [71 cm] deep at center
PROJECT LEVEL: Easy, confident beginner
TECHNIQUES USED: cast on, k, p, yo, k2tog, stretchy bind off method of your choice
ABBREVIATIONS:
K- knit
K2tog- knit 2 together
P- purl
Yo- yarn over
NOTES:
- Shawl is made from center point to tips.
- Stitched back and forth, in rows.
- For a tidy edge, slip the first stitch of every row knitwise rather than knitting the stitch; k2 becomes- sl 1 kwise, k1

Continue in pattern repeat until approx 45yds [42 m] remain, or size desired.
Note: As I neared the end of my yarn ball, I began to weigh it after every row to stay aware of the amount being used. On the last repeat, the rows were 1g each. With 10g remaining, I began the final rows.
FINISHING
Knit 4 rows, bind off using a stretchy method.
To achieve size shown, wet block to measurements. Weave in all loose ends.
