Broome Street Shawl

If you still haven't knitted a shawl to keep you toasty and warm...perhaps this pattern can change your mind. (unless you live on the equator!)

MATERIALS:
• Lion Brand Jiffy® Yarn: Grape 8 Balls
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)
• Circular knitting needle size 10 (6 mm), 40 in. (101.5 cm) long

GAUGE:
15 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:
Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. Work back and forth in rows on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
