Tara Shawl

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

12 stitches + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row) 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 fewer 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:

When creating fringe using Homespun, please note that because of the texture of the yarn the fringe will fray when cut. If you prefer a non-frayed look you can knot the ends, knit or crochet a fringe, or use hairspray or fray check.

SHAWL
Cast on 60 stitches. Work in Garter stitch (knit every row) until piece measures 60 in. (152.5 cm), from beginning. Bind off.

FINISHING
Weave in ends.

FRINGE
For each Fringe, cut 4 strands of yarn, each about 13 in. (33 cm) long. Hold strands together and fold in half. With crochet hook, draw fold through edge of piece, forming a loop. Pull ends of Fringe through loop and tighten. Make Fringes evenly along short ends of Shawl. Trim Fringe ends evenly.

Tara Shawl Reviewed by Kay Smith on 2009-11-09 *****
I made this shawl for myself at last. It was very easy. I crocheted the fringe on it I stated with a slip stich and single crocheted 25 single crochets and went in each stich across the end, It looks real pretty. Keeps the fringe from fraying. And looks good too.
