My One Row Shawl
I had this yarn, 2 balls of Melody and 2 of Mohair Royal
The Melody I used is color MS39, and the mohair color 12553.
I held one strand of the sock yarn together with 1 strand of the mohair on a size 7 needle.
I used the EZimmerman garter stitch edge, WYIF slip 1 as if to purl throughout. The finished garment 'cups' slightly and stays on my shoulders nicely.
One-Row Shawl Directions
Cast on 7 stitches
Knit 4 YO, K to last 2 stitches, YO, K2
keep repeating this row back and forth until your shawl is the size you are looking for. I added a 4 stitch I-Cord bind-off for a soft edge at the neck.
I'm gonna do this again with some handspun that I have- gotta love a simple knit! At least I do. :)

I love a simple pattern that lets the yarn shine!
Ohhhh, I have to try this one!!
thank you for this extra simple pattern, I hope I can finish my Kid mohair
Where does WYIF come into the pattern?
On the first stitch of each row, WYIF slip one, take yarn to the back and proceed! :)
Thanks MoBea! I'm ADD, all I saw were the words "one row directions". I've been knitting simple since 1965 before the internet. I had no idea what "EZimmerman" edge was. You meant E. Zimmerman! Your instructions are written in more of a casual conversation style, not in a 1., 2., 3., style for ADD people like me! I also missed the i-cord bind off neck edge stuff not in the "one row instructions"! Some day if your interested I'll tell you about the time I was making brownies from a mix when I was 12 and yelled, "Mom, what does mix by hand mean?" My shawl turned out just fine despite my ADD!
