You choose which you want to knit. Either the original Robin with lace in the center, beads and bobbles, or Robin flew the coop, which has the same shape and edges as Robin however the rest is stockinette. How about one of each?
Robin is a beaded shawl worked side to side. The pattern is written completely in text with many detailed explanations and tips for knitters that are newer to lace and beaded knitting. There are also charts for the beaded sections if you prefer to work from a chart. Additionally there are numerous video’s Sharon specifically created to help guide you though the knitting techniques in Robin. Go to SheknitsSharonD’s YouTube Channel. You can go there anytime to watch these free video’s.
Kits available separately from pattern- contact Sheknits.

The wind told the grasses,
And the grasses told the trees.
The trees told the bushes,
And the bushes told the bees.
The bees told the robin,
And the robin sang out clear:
Wake up!
Wake up!
Spring is here!

Robin Flew the Coop are for those of you that perhaps are not beaded bird enthusiasts however you love the shape and lace at the top and bottom of the shawl and would rather work the body of Robin as stockinette.
