Giving personalized gifts is a cinch with this innovative, multi-purpose design! For
one person it is an intricate shawl, but for another it becomes an elegant tree skirt.
The center panel brilliantly displays a cheerful fir tree hidden in the beautiful, easily
executed lace for a look that is both modern and vintage.
Designed by Jill Wolcott

E-wrap cast on
Pick up yarn in left hand, keeping
left thumb free. Bring thumb
behind, then underneath yarn and
bring the right needle towards you
to create a closed loop on thumb.
Put right needle in loop on thumb
from underneath, taking thumb out
of the loop and gently tightening
loop onto the needle. Rep for
correct number of stitches.
Flat 3-needle bind off
Hold two needles with stitches to
be bound off in the left hand, with
the WS together and the working
yarn between needles. *Using a
third needle, go in first stitch on
front needle as to knit; with yarn to
left of needle, go in back stitch as
to purl, with third needle ending up
between left needles and behind
working yarn. Purl the back stitch,
and move needle in a figure-8 to
bring new stitch and right needle
out of the purl stitch and out
through the front stitch from back
to front and taking original stitches
off needle. Return working yarn
between needles and rep from *
to get two stitches on right needle.
After completing the second stitch,
6 of the left needles to bind
use one
off the first stitch by bringing it
over the second stitch and off right
needle. Rep from * to last stitch.
Cut yarn and pull through last stitch.
Flexible long-tail cast on
Note: The top needle is the needle
on which you will begin working
the piece and the lower is another
needle of the same or specified
size. You can use yarn from both
ends of ball or from two balls.
Put a slip knot made from the yarn
that will go over forefinger on the
top needle. Pick up lower needle
and hold it below top needle with
slip knot between them. *Hold both
yarn ends as for a long-tail cast on
in left hand. Go up in thumb loop
with both needles. Twist needles
over and scoop forefinger yarn
with top needle only, bringing both
needles back through thumb loop

without removing thumb from loop.
Straighten needles and put thumb
loop onto lower needle. Remove
thumb from loop and gently tighten
to lower needle. Rep from * until
correct number of stitches are on
the top needle (lower needle will
have 1 less stitch).

long-tail cast on, cast on 67 sts.
Rows 1–3: Knit.
Row 4 (RS): K2, *yo, k2tog; rep

Rows 5 and 6: Knit.
Notes
Row 7: Rep row 4.
The outside edge of the shawl
and top edge of flounce need to
be the same length because they
are joined together in a 3-needle
bind off. There is a lot of leeway in
the flounce, but ensure it is long
enough that it creates a ruffle.
Rows 8 and 9: Knit.
