Gala G

Gala G is another pattern in the series of easy-to-knit shawls for beginners who are no longer satisfied with just knit and purl garments and are adventurous enough to try something slightly more complicated.

Gala G is a rectangular shawl, designed to meet the specific needs of heavyweight decorative yarn, in my case it’s Louisa Harding Grace Hand Beaded.

The shawl is knit loosely on large size needles and then blocked vigorously – all that to make it lacy, drapey and to show off to the most the beauty of the yarn.

The shawl is easy to knit, intuitive with the row repeat easy to memorise. What’s more, it’s a quick knit on larger size needles.

You need to know how to knit, purl, k2tog, ssk and yo. The most difficult element is the provisional cast on, I provide a link to the easiest method of doing it.
