Samira is a small, light, summery shawl with a beautiful lace border.
The shawl is knitted sideways, you start with a few stitches. Then increase the stitches until the shawl has reached half the desired length or until half the wool has been used up. Then you start decreasing again.

100g of the original yarn (547 yds / 500 m) is already enough to get a sufficiently large shawl. If you want the shawl larger, simply knit more repeats of sections 3 and 4.

The pattern shows you step for step how to knit this shawl. lt includes links for video tutorials for techniques.
