Sunday Morning Shawl 

 

What could be nicer than a delicious 
breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning? 
Coffee, fresh bread and the 
newspaper, a warm and cosy shawl 
on your shoulders? 

 

 

Materials:  
The shawl is a perfect stashbuster. Use all your sockyarn leftovers. I combined the sockyarn with a 
thin black lace yarn, so the shawl is still colorful, but not to flashy. 
 
(My shawl is made of 150g Kauni lace in black and 250g sockyarn leftovers.) 
 

Gauge:  
Is not important, you knit with needlesize suiting your yarn as long as you reach the desired size of 
the shawl. 
 

Abbreviations:  
K = knit  
yo = yarn over  
M3 = *k1, f/b, k1* in one stitch 
 

Color change: 
When using the next ball of yarn, just knit about 10 stitches with the old and the new yarn together 
and cut off ends later. 
 

Shawl: 
Cast on 3 sts and place a marker in the center stitch (you will not need the marke any more, when 
the pattern is established)
