Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in vibrant neon colors: neon pink, neon green, neon yellow, and neon orange.
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches using the neon pink yarn.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit 1 stitch, then perform a yarn over (yo), and knit to the end of the row. This will increase your stitch count to 4.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Knit 1 stitch, then purl to the last stitch, and knit 1 stitch. You should have 4 stitches at the end of this row.
4. Repeat Rows 1 and 2: Continue to alternate between Row 1 and Row 2. Every 10 rows, change your yarn color in the following sequence:
   • 10 rows in neon pink
   • 10 rows in neon green
   • 10 rows in neon yellow
   • 10 rows in neon orange
5. Continue Knitting: Keep repeating the above steps until the shawl measures approximately 60 inches along the longest edge. Make sure to end with a Wrong Side (WS) row.
6. Bind Off:
   • Next Row (Right Side): Bind off 3 stitches, then knit to the end of the row.
   • Next Row (Wrong Side): Knit 1 stitch, purl to the last stitch, and knit 1 stitch.
7. Repeat Bind Off Rows: Continue repeating the last two rows until you have 3 stitches remaining on your needle.
8. Final Bind Off: Bind off all remaining stitches to finish your shawl.
9. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. Finally, block the shawl to shape it properly and enhance the texture.
