This pattern was inspired by the edging on the Virga Shawl by Rosemary (Romi) Hill. It caught my eye and I started to wonder if I could make it into an overall pattern. The answer, after a lot of trial and swatching, was sort of.

The pattern is very long because the shawl is completely charted out with no repeats. Also, there are two complete sets of charts. The first set shows just the right-side rows and leaves it to the knitter to switch from purl to seed stitch where needed on the wrong-side rows. I prefer this as it makes the charts more compact and, for me, easier to read. The second set gives both the right- and wrong-side rows. You choose which is easier for you to follow.

I used a handspun yarn to knit this shawl.

Warning - the pattern has not been test knitted by anyone other than myself so there may be errors. Please let me know if you find any and I will post a corrected version. Thanks.
