Pink Paradise Shawl

This beautiful dark pink yarn will feel like paradise sitting around your neck once knit up into this lacy triangular shawl. The yarn has a slight variation in color, adding to the depth of the shawl. 

This yarn was a bit of a splurge, but it knit up so wonderfully I think I may have to buy more!

I used one skein of MadelineTosh Tosh Merino Light in Coquette with size 6 circular needles for the large amount of stitches. 

Co 3, longtail

Row 1: k across

Row 2: k1, (yo, k1) twice

Row 3: k1, yo, k3, yo, k1

Row 4: (k1, yo, k2, yo), pm, rep (to) once more, k1

Row 5: k1, yo, k to marker, sm, k to last st, yo, k1

Row 6: k1, yo, k to marker, yo, sm, k1, yo, k to last st, yo, k1

Rep rows 5 and 6 until you want to start the edging. 

For the edging: 

*(yo, k2tog, k2) will be referred to as (to). This is the same throughout the edging. 

Row 1: k1, yo, k1, (yo, k2tog, k2) to last st before marker, k1, sm, rep (to) to last 2sts, k1, yo, k1

Row 2: k1, yo, k2, rep (to) to marker, yo, sm, k1, yo, rep (to) to last 3sts, k2, yo, k1

Row 3: k1, yo, k3, rep (to) to last 2 sts before marker  k2, sm, k1, rep (to) to last 4 sts, k3, yo, k1

Row 4: k1, yo, rep (to) to last st before marker, k1, yo, sm, k1, yo, k1, rep (to) to last st, yo, k1

Row 5: k1, yo, k1, rep (to) to last 3 sts before marker, k3, sm, k2, rep (to) to,last 2 sts, k1, yo, k1

Row 6: k1, yo, k2, rep (to) to last 2 sts before marker, k2, yo, sm, k1, yo, k2, rep (to) to last 3 sts, k2, yo, k1

Row 7: k1, yo, k3, rep (to) to last 4 sts before marker, k4, sm, k3, rep (to) to last 4 sts, k3, up, k1

Row 8: k1, yo, rep (to) last 3 sts before marker, k3, yo, sm, k1, yo, k3, rep (to) to last st, yo, k1

Rep rows 1-8 until ready to bo. 

There will be some double yos in this edging. I don't find it troublesome, but if you do, you can feel free to alter the edging to avoid that. 

Bo in knit loosely. I used Jeny's Suprisingly Stretchy Bind Off. 

Weave in any remaining ends, and then block to even out the stitches and shape. I wet blocked this, but you can use whatever method you prefer.

The lace edgings adds about 4 1/2", measured after blocking. Total, the shawl is 21" deep, and 78" across the top. 

I love how light and airy this yarn is when knit loosely like this. 

I hope you make one of these for yourself!
