28's Cousin 53!

28's Cousin 53
June 2017

This is the first time I've knit this pattern, but it won't be the last. The pattern is very easy (only 53 rows); however, the last ten rows seem to take forever to knit because at that point the shawl has over 500 stitches.

The pattern said blocking was not necessary; however, I recommend blocking the shawl. Without blocking the shawl is barely four inches wide; with blocking, 9 inches.

I loved knitting with this yarn, and the silk it contains adds drape and softness to the shawl.
