This shawl is worked in garter stitch in the first section, followed
by sets of short rows, stripes, and a yarn over section to finish.
The method of construction creates the asymmetrical shape;
while the design elements of color, shaping and textured stitches
make it a true original.
I hope you enjoy knitting Kelias as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Stitch guide:
M1R: make one right by picking up the thread between the last stitch
you’ve knit and the one you're about to knit, bringing the needle from the
back to the front. Then knit into the front loop of this stitch.
M1L: make one left by picking up the thread between the last stitch you’ve
knit and the one you're about to knit, bringing the needle from the front to
the back. Then knit into the back loop of this stitch.
