Fiona Shawl

The Fiona yarn by Feza is lovely to knit. This super easy shawl will be a nice light weight cover up for late summer/early fall chills. Fonzie is particular fond of this label!! I am knitting this for ME!! But, I want to make this again in pinks for a very good friend.

Fiona Shawl by Feza
Approximately 246 yards
2 skeins
Size 10 needles
Cast on 3 stitches. Knit 1 row.
Next row: knit 1, make 1, knit to end
Repeat this row every row until you run out,
leaving enough for the bind off.

Note - to "make 1" without a hole follow this simple increase of knitting into the front and back of a stitch.
Kfb - Knit in front and back of stitch
Insert the right needle into the stitch, wrap the yarn around the needle and pull through for a regular knitted stitch , elongating the loop. Do not pull the stitch over the left needle. Bring the point of the right needle around to the back of the same stitch and knit into the back loop of the stitch. Now, pull the stitch from the left needle. You have two stitches from one stitch.
