The BAO BAO shawl is a symmetrical triangle shawl with all-over stitches, characterized by its slightly retro charm.
BAO BAO (เบา เบา) is a Thai word used to describe something "gentle, soft, or light." Knitted with amirisu Sprint, which is soft, easy to knit, and produces vivid colors, it should be a joyful knitting experience. Let's find your favorite color combination.
The shawl is worked top-down, back and forth. Begin with a garter tab cast-on and increase 3 stitches on every RS row: at both ends and in the center of the shawl. Color changes are made every 4 rows.
