A design based off of the twisted genius mind of villain Moriarty from Sherlock, the BBC series that many of us love. The pattern is a bit wild and weird like Moriarty. It’s a partial circular shawl made of thin wedges. The body is different from the “border” wedges. Eight wedges make up the center of the shawl and three wedges on each side make up the “border” wedges. With a design element for Advanced knitters to opt in for if they so desire. So if the pattern is not hard enough for you, :-) there are other options (see Advanced Knitters). Shawl initially worked at a MKAL.
