Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in deep green and earthy brown
• Needles: US 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your US 15 (10mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight; you want them to be comfortable for knitting.
2. Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes your first row of the shawl.
3. Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice texture for your shawl.
4. Row 3: Begin the ribbing pattern. *Knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches.* Repeat this sequence from * to the end of the row. This creates a lovely alternating pattern.
5. Row 4: Continue with the ribbing. *Purl 2 stitches, then knit 2 stitches.* Repeat this sequence from * to the end of the row. This will further enhance the texture of your shawl.
6. Repeat Rows 3 and 4: Continue alternating between Rows 3 and 4 until your shawl measures 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired length, bind off all stitches loosely. This is important to maintain the elasticity of the shawl edges.
8. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends of yarn to give your shawl a clean finish.
9. Block Your Shawl: Gently block your shawl to shape it. This will help to even out the stitches and enhance the texture. Lay it flat on a clean surface and pin it into shape if necessary.

Congratulations! You have now created your very own Enchanted Forest Chunky Knit Shawl. Enjoy the warmth and style it brings to your wardrobe!
