easy shawl for spring?

Kirin · 03-25-2006, 03:35 AM

Hello again,

I would like to make a simple lacy shawl or scarf for my cousin using pima-tencel yarn (to go with the various chemo caps I made for her). I haven't learned fancy stuff like knitting into half the stitch or twisting the stitch (or other things I've seen but not really understood yet). I can knit, purl, ktog, psso, ssk, yarn over, do a basic cable, and could figure out a few more with clear instructions.

I would be grateful for suggestions or shared free patterns that make sense with this kind of yarn.

thanks so much, everyone

Both of these look fairly easy and I think would be nice in a cotton/tencel. What's the weight of your yarn?
