In many a knitter’s stash is that special skein of yarn—the one picked up as souvenir yarn during a great vacation, that special hand-dyed yarn from an indie dyer or even your own handspun—that you want to use every last scrap of. But your pattern search finds you patterns that require much more or less yardage than you have!
This shawl is the answer. With its unusual increase ratio (3.1 sts to every 4 rows) this curvy heart is interrupted midway with two bands of lace “edging” and finishes, having used most of your yarn, with the tiniest knitted-on border that can be worked from either the RS or WS of the shawl.

About the Designer: Mary E. Rose
Mary learned to knit as a young child and it has had an impact on her life ever since. As a teen, when her friends were getting jobs at fast food restaurants, Mary worked at her LYS, where the hours and working conditions were much better.
As with many knitters, when she couldn’t find patterns for what she wanted to knit, she started designing her own.
She currently lives in Central Ohio with her three children, who also craft. She can be found on Ravelry and her blog, or with knitting needles in hand, guarding her stash.
