This pattern is part of my BASICS collection. Basics are patterns exactly as well written as all my others but designed explicitly to fit knitters of all skills. They are simple, they are easy to modify and, in addition, they are at a very low price so that money is not inconvenient either.
The Birdman is a shawl that has simplicity as its emblem, it is an adaptable design in every way: you can change the needles, the thread and completely adapt the size without the need for any kind of extra calculation. Just choose your favorite yarn, make a sample to choose what tension you would like to work with and you are ready to cast on.
In the pattern you will find videos of all the techniques used.

The only thing you should keep in mind is that if you want a larger size you will need more yarn; and if you change weight and needles size, the amount of yarn will also change.
