Design Notes:

All knit stitches are twisted stockinette, made with the e-wrap stitch.

New yarn skeins should be added at the beginning of a row so the woven in tails are less conspicuous.

Pattern:

Cast on to 40 pegs using the crochet cast on method.  Put the last loop on the crochet hook onto peg 41.  Do NOT close the loop; you will be knitting back and forth to make a flat piece.

Row 1:  Knit pegs 40 – 1.
Row 2:  Purl pegs 2 – 40.  E-wrap peg 41 and knit off.
Rows 3 – 4:  Repeat rows 1 – 2.

Move the loops to their neighboring pegs as follows:
Loop 5 to peg 6
Loop 7 to peg 8
Loop 9 to peg 10
Loop 11 to peg 12
Loop 13 to peg 14
Loop 15 to peg 16
Loop 17 to peg 18
Loop 19 to peg 20
Loop 37 to peg 36
Loop 35 to peg 34
Loop 33 to peg 32
Loop 31 to peg 30
Loop 29 to peg 28
Loop 27 to peg 26
Loop 25 to peg 24
Loop 23 to peg 22
Loop 21 to peg 20  (There will be three loops on peg 20.)

Row 5:  Starting with peg 40, e-wrap all pegs with loops on them.  For pegs with no loops on them, bring the yarn behind each peg on the inside of the loom.  Knit off, bringing the bottom loop or loops over the top loop, leaving just the one new loop on each peg.
Row 6:  Purl pegs 2 – 4, e-wrap all pegs 6 – 36 with loops on them, bringing yarn behind empty pegs.  Purl pegs 38 – 40, e-wrap peg 41.  Knit off e-wrapped pegs.

Repeat rows 5 – 6 seventy times.

Next row:  Starting with peg 40, e-wrap pegs that have loops on them, and pass the yarn in front of empty pegs.  Knit off pegs with 2 loops on them.
Next row:  Purl pegs 2 – 40. E-wrap peg 41 and knit off.
Next row:  Knit pegs 40 – 1.
Next row:  Loops created on this row should be loose.  Purl pegs 2 – 40.  E-wrap peg 41 and knit off.

Remove the shawl from the loom with the flat bind off method, starting with pegs 1-2.

Weave in yarn tails along edges.
