Windfall Shawl
When I first saw this yarn it looked so soft and fuzzy I just needed to try it. As soon as I held the skein I realized how lovely this would be on the skin and instantly pictured a cozy shawl wrapping around the neck to combat those winter winds. I also pictured a slender design so that it could wrap and tie around your neck and fit under your jacket, and would be versatile enough to transition you into a loose fit for Spring.
The loviliest part of this yarn is how soft it is! It’s got the texture of the inside of cozy slippers, but imagine it with a silkiness added. When you add in that softness you get an incredible drape! This drape is what made me think I could make a slender design to avoid that under jacket bulkiness. This allows you to wrap it mutiple times or tie it in a bow anytime you want! The best part about this, is how it won’t just be for winter. When something takes time to make you want to get some wear time out of it right? Well this will be that piece. It will easily be your go-to when the weather warms up and you need that pretty accent to a dress or to toss over a sweater like I have here. ALSO, think inside! Do you get cold inside? I know I do some days… So throw this one on and keep toasty as the day goes!
A quick to make comfy and chunky throw! Perfect to cozy up in!
This shawl works up using a “flow off the hook” hdc with evenly spaced repeats. You’ll have these memorized after doing it just once, so easy! I like to use stitch markers to mark an increase or decrease row. This makes it even easier to know what row you are on in a repeat. Thsi is beginner friendly AND I have videos on my Youtube for help on the edging.

Also, there should be plenty of yarn left on your second skein to do some adjustments to this one. It works up by increases until you’re halfway and then you work your decreases. If you want your shawl longer or with more depth at the center point, keep working your increases until the desired halfway length, then continue to the second half which is your decreases.

NOTES
Beginning chain doesn’t count as a stitch in this pattern.
Increase and decrease are all worked on the RS rows so the shawl develops a long triangular shape.
I recommend attaching a stitch marker at the beginning of increase/decrease rows for easy counting and knowing exactly where you are in the repeats with just a glance.
In the beginning your work will increase every other row, followed by increases every 4th row until the halfway point. Then we mirror it, decreases worked every 4th row, and decreases worked every other row to close out the shawl.
If you’d like to add length and width to your shawl, continue working your increase repeat until the half length or width is met and then begin the second half of the shawl.

GAUGE
**Please check your gauge before you start this Pattern to match the finished measurements:
It’s best to make your swatch slightly bigger than what the pattern states it should measure, so you can measure it in the center of your square, getting an accurate reading. You can do this by adding 2 additional stitches and work 2 additional rows. Do not count the first and last stitch in your measurement or the first and last row.
Hook Size Suggestions:
If your swatch has less stitches, swatch again using a smaller hook.
If your swatch has more stitches, swatch again using a larger hook.
