FIONA SHAWL


I believe there has been a request for the instructions for the Fiona Shawl - Fonzie says, "Here you go!":

Fiona Shawl

Materials: Fiona by Fezo (or comparable)

Approximately 246 yards

2 skeins






Cast on 3 stitches. Knit 1 row



Next row: knit 1, make 1, knit to end



Repeat this row every row until you run out, leaving enough for the bind off.













INCREASING - MAKING A SIMPLE INCREASE (knitting into the front and back of the stitch):
Kfb = knit in front and back of st


An easy way to add a stitch is to use an existing stitch. Insert the right needle into the stitch, wrap the yarn around the needle and pull through as for a normal knit stitch, elongating the loop slightly. Don't pull the stitch over the left needle yet.

Bring the top of the right needle around to the back and knit into the back loop of the stitch as shown (see the FAQ on knitting into the back loop for more detail). You now have two stitches on the right needle.
