Helmi ́s Noro-Virus-Shawl

This beautiful shawl is knitted and easy to work up. It’s just the zig-zag border that is crocheted, so you will need to be able to do both for this shawl. You should be able to do knit and purl stitches, yarn overs and “kfb” (kfb – knit-front-back – make two stitches out of one: knit into front leg of stitch, leave stitch on needle, knit into the back leg, slide off needle). A total of 500g Noro Silk Garden will be needed in various colours. I used ochre, blue, purple, red and green wool. The colour changes within a ball are very nice, and it doesn’t really matter which colour your use. It will all match beautifully. You can, of course, use another yarn; the main thing is to use a yarn you like.
I used a 4.5 mm circular needle with a long cord and a 4.5 mm crochet hook. To crochet the border edge, you will use chain stitches, single crochets (US terms), double crochets, slip stitches and picots. A crochet diagram is included for the border.
The finished shawl weighs around 500 g and is around 190 cm wide at the base. Have fun making this!
