Description
Lightmoore is an elegant and functional shawl. It is both easy to knit and to wear. With ease of knitting in mind, I combined both garter stitches and dropped garter stitches to give a lace-like element in this shawl.
Lightmoore shawl begins with a garter tab cast-on and then is worked back and forth. To add interest, I have switched between DK and Sock weight yarn. This shawl is bound off using both weights held double using Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off, resulting in an elastic, but firm edge. Lightmoore is a great transitional piece and can be worn in many seasons.
