This is a no-brainer shawl. Knit it while watching TV or talking to your family, on road trips in the car or whenever you want to have something to knit that you can easily put aside any time.

The shawl is worked from the top to the bottom with increases in every second row. I used aran weight yarn for mine, but really, you can use whatever you have. Just reserve 1 third of it for the border and knit until you run out of yarn. Gauge and size are up to you.

What skills are you going to need and what will you get

Difficulty level: easy (knit and purl, easy lace stitches, basic top down shawl construction)

Gauge: 17 stitches/28 rows in stockinette stitch = 10cm/4in.
