Knitting pattern, ENNA shawl, any size/yarn/gauge

The mistake broken rib stitch is such an easy-to-work structured pattern: with knit and purl stitches only, you create beautiful three-dimensional lines which look like brioche stitch, but are much quicker and simpler to make. The ENNA shawl is worked sideways and it is growing from the center. Its rib columns originate out of the center of the rows as the increases and decreases are worked alternately on the right and left side. This shawl can be knitted in any yarn weight and gauge, but the luxurious yarn combination used for the samples gives an awesome stitch definition which accentuates the texture of the pattern. You can wrap it around your neck once or twice or wear it as a larger shawl to keep you warm. Use the hashtag #ENNAshawl to share your project on Instagram.

GAUGE
It is recommended to cast on the shawl directly with your chosen yarn and matching needle size. After a few centimeters/inches, you can wash and block or steam-block the shawl to see if you like the fabric.
