Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

12 stitches across and 20 rows down should measure 4 in. [10 cm] in garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Editor’s Note: When creating fringe using Homespun please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

SHAWL
Cast on 60 stitches. Work in garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row) until the first skein of yarn is almost finished. At the beginning of the next row, attach a new skein of yarn, leaving a tail of both skeins. Continue working in garter stitch, attaching the third and fourth skeins in the same way. Continue until Shawl measures 60 in. [152.5 cm]. Bind off all stitches. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail into a large-eyed blunt needle, and use the needle to weave the tail through the Shawl. Trim end of tail. In the same way, weave in the tail from the beginning of your work and the tails from where the second, third, and fourth skeins were joined.

FRINGE Cut 248 strands of yarn, each 13 in. [33 cm] long. For each fringe, hold 4 strands of yarn together and fold in half. Use crochet hook to draw fold through edge of piece, forming a loop. Pull ends of fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten. Make 62 fringes along both short sides with 8 strands of yarn in each fringe. Trim fringe evenly.

Comfort Shawl Reviewed by FAITH MYERS on 2010-02-02 *****
This is a very quick and "comforting" to make shawl. What make this pattern better than others it the yarn, homespun. At the begining it was a bit difficult to use but after a while it is a breeze.

This is what i call my movie shawl! I went to see a movie and I bought this with me. I prestarted it home by working the first 3 rows and during the movie, 2 hours and 45 minutes with lots of "blue" people. I guess you know what movie I am talking about, my hands just went into automatic! When the movie was over I finished the first ball of yarn!

I haven't been knitting for a long time, but this has me wanting to knit all the time!
Try it and you will get addicted!
