BAD NUT SHAWL

By Josh Ryks

For those skeins that you just can't seem to find anything to do with, grab your needles and get knitting! The Bad Nut Shawl uses simple knits
and purls and short-rowing to give a nice, asymmetrical crescent that is finished off with a nice garter stitch detail!

weight yarn in semi-solid/tonal/variegated, etc. Sample in photo is the large version and uses 2 skeins of Republic of Wool DK (100% SW
Merino/250 yd/ 229 m) in the color way Candy is Dandy – the 2016 MN Yarn Shop Hop exclusive colorway for StevenBe in
Minneapolis, MN.

p: purl YO: yarn over

SK2PO: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, k2tog, pass slipped st over.

NOTE:

SLPYO: This shawl uses the German Method of Short-Rowing. This method requires a bit of a special stitch when it comes to the turn. If you don't want to use this method, feel free
to use whatever method of short-rowing you wish, substituting your preferred method when the pattern states to turn and work the specified stitch. There is a video tutorial which can
be found on my YouTube channel here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s527EKd7PsY)

SLPYO: slip next stitch as if to purl with yarn in the front of the work. Bring the yarn over the needle to the back of the work, pulling the stitch up and over.
