The skill level is listed at Intermediate. The Finished measurements are 61 in long and 26 in deep. It is a triangular shawl and really quite simple. It uses short rows to shape the shoulders just a bit so that the shawl doesn’t slip off your shoulders. You can knit it in a straight color or use the designer’s pattern, which I have done…colors for me were based on what I had in small amts in my stash. I think it is a lovely piece for a young woman, very stylish.
