Notes
-
Any fingering weight yarns may be used to complete this shawl however tonal or solid colors are recommended to highlight the lacework to it’s fullest extent.
-
This shawl is constructed in a crescent shape and worked flat. Written instructions and charts are provided for all sections after the setup. Charted instructions are found on page 4.
-
Pattern repeats on the charts are indicated by a red-border; repeats in the written instructions are enclosed in bolded square brackets.
-
This shawl best fits a 40” circular needle however the user may substitute longer or shorter needles for comfort.
-
Although gauge is not critical for this project, a looser gauge than noted will result in the use of more yardage.
