Lightning Strike Shawl

This is a knitting pattern only!

Description:

Lightning Strike shawl is an asymmetrical triangular shawl, that works from a tip with constant increases on one side. Regularly alternating sections of a lace stitch pattern and horizontal ribbing are finished with several bind-off stitches to create a zig-zagging edge. 

The shawl has several loops on the widest side. These loops work as a fastening, push the narrow end through the loops and you don’t need to tie the shawl or use the shawl pin to hold the shawl in place.

You need to know how to do knit and purl stitches, yarn over, and simple decreases. 2 special stitches are introduced, video tutorials are included for both of them.
