I wanted to try a crescent-shaped shawl using the linen stitch. I couldn't find any tutorials or patterns, so I made a few assumptions about the stitch, how to increase it, and started stitching.
I only had a single cake of this Mandala so it isn't a very big shawl. I made sure I didn't line up the increases from row to row and it seemed to work out okay. I think this technique is simple. I don't know that explaining it will be as simple.
The fabric is nice. This was my carry-along project for a few weeks.
I added some texture to the last few rows. It was an experiment. I may have to explore the stitch more.
The resulting shape is somewhat crescent-shaped.
More of a shawlette than a full-size shawl. Guess I'll need more yarn next time.
