**Nar** is a triangular shawl knit from the center out. It is charming in its simplicity with just a few design quirks.

**Katia** is a large rectangular scarf with lace design accent, that will quickly become your go-to piece when the temperature drops.

This rectangular shawl is knitted on the bias from one corner out, with purl ridges that accentuate the diagonal construction of the wrap.

You will need 100 g of Lace weight yarn (50g/459 yards). For my samples I used 2 skeins of Hedgehog Fibers Kidsilk (70% Kid Mohair, 30% Silk). Pink is Gossip color way, and blue is Maelstrom color way. You might choose to alternate between skeins for every two rows to avoid color pooling (I didn’t, and one half of the shawl.

US size 4 (3.5 mm) circular needles or the size to get 18-19 stitches x 25 rows in 4x4” stockinette gauge. (measurements for gauge taken before blocking!)

Finished wrap measures 24”x76” after wet blocking.

Knit with one main color and several contrast colors and fibers, this shawl is a great way to use up those scraps or try a new type of yarn you’ve been curious about. Using only KNIT and PURL rows you will create a beautiful fabric that somewhat resembles brioche, but is way easier to knit.

Lilac Leaf is a simple yet elegant cowl, featuring basic stockinette stitch and leaf lace pattern. It is knitted in the round from bottom up, and requires just one 50g ball of yarn.

The Flying Fox Shawl is a symmetrical shawl that balances the simplicity of garter stitch with the beauty of basic lace knitting. And of course, tassels - they make everything better.
  
Knit in a sport weight yarn, it is large enough to be worn as a shawl or a scarf. I prefer to knit it in cotton because the crispness highlights different textures, but Flying Fox would be beautiful in a variety of fibers including wool and alpaca.
  
The pattern is suitable for beginners and advanced knitters alike.
  
!Please NOTE that some testers used 3.2 balls of original yarn, so you might need to have 4 balls to stay on a safe side!
