Twisted Shawl

I made this shawl for my boss. It was an easy knit, but turned out quite nice...

I used 4.5mm needles (US7) and Bernat Super Value yarn in Dusty Rose

c/o 86 st
Row 1: k3; p2; *k4; p2 (* to last 3 st); k3
Row 2: k3; k2; *p4; k2 (* to last 3 st); k3
Row 3: same as Row 1
Row 4: same as Row 2
Row 5: k3; *p2; slip next 2 stitches to cable needle and hold in front (c2f); p2; slip next 2 stitches to cable needle and hold in back (c2b); (*to last 9 st); c2f; p2; k3
Row 6: same as Row 2

Repeat these 6 rows until work measures 66 inches from beginning.

Collar:
c/o 140 st
work garter st for 1"
Row 1: k3; p2; *k4; p2; (*to last 3 st); k3
Row 2: k3; k2; *p4; k2; (*to last 3 st); k3
Row 3: same as Row 1
Row 4: same as Row 2
Row 5: k3; *p2; c2f; p2; c2b; (*to last 9 st); c2f; p2; k3
Row 6: same as Row 2

Repeat these 6 rows until collar measures length you wish (I chose 4 inches; you may wish to make yours longer or shorter).

Finishing:
Fold shawl in half. Line up centre of collar with halfway mark on shawl and pin. Sew collar to edge of shawl.
