Embrace Shawl

In my last post I talked about my new "Embrace" shawl. Here are pictures and patterns. It's a very simple pattern and will work as one size fits most. You can easily adjust the length and width of this pattern to make larger or smaller versions.

This pattern has not been tested, so if you find any problems or have any questions, please let me know.

Assembly
Whip stitch front panels to back panel
Lay out flat on a table and line up all corners

Measure down 10 inches from the shoulder and whip stitch the sides together for 2 inches.
This will form a very loose sleeve, but leave the sides open.

Front Ties
Make ties using your contrast color
I created my ties using a spool knitter - I made 12 cords 12" long and sewed them to the front
(you can also create ties by attaching the yarn with a slip stitch and chaining for 12")

Row 4: 2sc in first stitch, 21 sc, 2 sc in last stitch, c1 1 turn (25 sc)
Rows 5-23: sc across, end main color, turn (25 sc)

Row 25: BLO sc across (back loop only), ch 2 turn (25 sc)
Row 26: 12 hdc, ch 1 (for button hole) , 12 hdc, ch 1 turn (24 hdc & ch1 space)
