Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight yarn in moody dark colors such as deep plum, midnight blue, and charcoal gray.
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles.
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches onto your knitting needle.
2. Row 1: Work a knit front and back (Kfb) into the first stitch, then knit to the end of the row. You should now have 4 stitches on your needle.
3. Row 2: Simply knit every stitch across the row. You will continue to alternate between these two rows.
4. Increase Stitches: Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have a total of 50 stitches on your needle. This will create the main body of the shawl.
5. Begin Asymmetrical Shaping:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Kfb in the first stitch, then knit to the last 2 stitches, and perform a knit two together (k2tog) to decrease one stitch.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Knit every stitch across the row.

   Repeat these two rows until the shawl measures approximately 60 inches along the longest edge. This will create the beautiful asymmetrical shape.

6. Switch to Garter Stitch for the Border:
   • Row 1: Knit every stitch across the row.
   • Row 2: Knit every stitch across the row.

   Continue in garter stitch for a total of 10 rows to form a lovely border around your shawl.

7. Bind Off: Once you have completed the garter stitch border, bind off your stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle. Finally, block your shawl to shape it perfectly. This will help even out your stitches and enhance the drape of the shawl.

Now you have your very own Asymmetrical Boho Chic Shawl! Enjoy wearing this elegant piece that adds a touch of mystery and style to your wardrobe.
