Four HundredFour HundredFour HundredFour Hundred Four Hundred is a classically designed top-down triangular
shawl. It starts from a small “tab” at the back of the neck and
there are 4 increases on every right side row. One at the left
edge, two at the center and one at the right edge, these
increases are worked until the finish of the shawl.
Approximately 35 % of the shawl is knit in stockinet with the
remainder worked in small repeating patterns. The edging is
knit as the triangle is worked and then finished with a loose
bind-off.

Note: Row 80 (WS), Work row 80, removing all markers except for the original 4
markers for the increase lines.
Notes on the use of Markers – Markers are used liberally in the
pattern. Some knitters love them and find them useful – some
knitters do not f ind them useful at all . Markers do need to be
managed. They can shift locations when next to YO’s and will often
need to be physical ly moved when next to decreases, in order to
work the decrease. Take note of the marker placement on the charts
as you work the rows and make sure that the markers are replaced correctly.

Approximately 9 to 10 grams of yarn left.
Bind-off
The K2tog Bind-off creases a strong and stretchy edge that helps the shawl to
lay flat while wearing. This bind-off takes roughly 6 grams of yarn for this
shawl.
Simple Version – Work K2tog bind-off as written across the shawl edge.
More Complex Version – Sample was bound-off this way – Work K2tog bind-
off, adding and binding-off 2 extra stitches into the stitches above each row
of YO’s.
K2tog Bind-off. – Knit 2 sts, slip
those sts back to your left hand
needle and then knit them together,
1 st is on the right hand needle. K1,
2sts are on the right hand needle,
slip the 2 sts on the right hand
needle back to the left hand needle
and knit them together – repeat
across hem and pull yarn through
last st when finished.
