The idea for this shawl came about

when my sister saw another of my
designs and fell in love with the edging.
She then suggested that I make it into a
crescent and put less of that ”annoying
lace” in it. So, GiGi, this is Tsidfy, The
Shawl I Designed For You (and lots of
other people). Tsidfy is a crescent
shaped shawlette with a garter stitch
border that is knit from center back to
the bottom edge. Yarn overs at each
end are used to form the crescent
shape. Increases are worked on both
right and wrong sides.

Tapestry needle to weave in ends

Notes:
- All rows are worked with three edge stitches in garter stitch. These stitches are
included on the charts.
- In order to increase the size of the shawlette, work 13 additional repeats of rows 1
and 2. This will result in an increase of 78 stitches per row.
- Odd rows are worked from right to left. Even rows are worked from left to right.
- For the k2tog bind off: k2, slip stitches onto left needle, k2tog through the back loop,
*k1, slip stitches onto left needle, k2tog through the back loop*, repeat * until all
stitches are bound off.
- For the crochet bind off: chain four (4), insert hook into next two knit stitches, single
crochet, *chain four (4), crochet next two knit stitches together *, repeat * until
center stitch, single crochet, *chain four (4), crochet next two knit stitches
