Construction
Imagine that you are shipwrecked on a deserted island with just knitting notions and a nearly completed hand-knit shawl. But alas, you find that during the shipwreck, a few of your stitches dropped all the way to the very end!
The Shipwreck Shawl begins as a triangular shawl that’s knit on the bias from one triangle tip to the other. Then, right before the bind-off, we unravel three stitches down to the very end of the shawl. Next, we’ll use a crochet hook to pick up these stitches as one simple braid (no crochet experience needed!). Lastly, we will also unravel the first few stitches in our row to create a no-fuss, yet luxurious fringe. So, by the time you are rescued, not only will you have a generously-sized chic shawl, but you will also have some fun new knitting techniques to explore!
