Using this shawl kit is a breeze. First, pick your desired color palette, either the emerald greens or pastel pinks. Start knitting following the free pattern that comes with the kit. As you work on the feather - and - fan lace pattern, take your time to ensure the stitches are even. When it comes to the fringe, make sure it's evenly cut for a more polished look. To keep your shawl in great shape, hand - wash it in cool water with a gentle wool detergent. After washing, lay it flat to dry to prevent any stretching. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the colors.
