Galax Shawl Knitting Pattern Download

Description

The Galax Shawl is wide and curved, and can be styled like a scarf. The sideways edging is worked modularly with increases and short-rows, creating the stitches for the future body section. This prevents picking up stitches later and makes for a smooth, lacy join between the two sections. Start knitting your Galax Shawl today!
