Shawl #1:   This shawl is knit in garter stitch on large needles.  The pattern was made by splitting the colors in thirds.  Adding a row of YO pattern will add some length.  YO row could look like K2tog, YO to end and repeat for two rows at color changes. Don’t forget to add your fringe. 

Shawl #2:   Cast on 100 stitches on size 17 needles.  Some rows were knit and others just wrap the yarn around the needle twice and drop on the next row.  This designer says the best way to use Reclaimed Rainbows is to play and let the yarn “talk” to you.

Shawl #3:   Cast on 3 stitches with needle size of your choice.  Increase the first and last stitch of row.  Knit the next row and repeat until shawl is the right size or the yarn is gone.
