This shawl uses all the advantages of the sideways knitting technique to make a comfortable wearable shawl which drapes beautifully. Similar to garments made from material cut on the bias, the shawl adapts to the wearer's shape much more than a shawl knitted from top to bottom or vice versa. 

I will teach you how to do a slipped stitch selvage edge to give your shawl a professional finish and also making it reversible. In my tutorial I have done so for knitting two row garter stitch stripes. You are welcome to learn this too or use only one color yarn. 

This pattern is well suited to a beginner knitter or an experienced knitter who would like to have a project to take along when out and about.
