<b>Wrap</b> With Yarn A CO 86 sts leaving a 6" tail. <b>Note:</b> Leave a 6" tail as you change yarns every 2 rows, on the same side. This will create a fringe on one side of the shawl.
Work yarns every 2 rows in following order: Rows 1-2: Knit with A. Rows 3-4: Knit with B. Rows 5-6: Knit with A. Rows 7-8: Knit with C. Rows 9-10: Knit with B. Rows 11-12: Knit with A. Rows 13-14: Knit with B. Rows 15-16: Knit with C. Rows 17-18: Knit with B. Repeat rows 5-18 one more time. <i><b>next row:</b></i> Attach Yarn A, leaving a 6" tail. Knit 2 rows.
<b>Finishing</b> Attach Yarn C leaving 6" tail, BO all sts except for last 6. Pull the yarn through the stitch on the right needle and make a knot, and leaving your last 6 sts unknit. Pull the needle out and unravel last 6 sts. You will have 6" loops. Cut them in half to make the fringe for the second side of your shawl. Fold shawl in half and seam with a mattress stitch along the BO edge, matching points A and B and leaving 14" for neck opening. Block lightly to straighten the unraveled fringe.
