Pattern Notes
Worked from the top down in one piece. This pattern naturally loses a pattern repeat every six rows, giving the shawl its triangular shape.
Creating a swatch will allow you to check tension and learn the pattern. To do this chain 38 and work the set-up row then rows 1–6 twice.
The shawlette uses very close to the entire skein, it may be advisable to have a second skein available incase your yarn usage varies.
Pattern is written and charted.
