~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Confectioners is a large parallelogram wrap. Bold stripes are accented with a plaid-like slip-stitch crochet added during finishing. Although the shawl as shown uses almost a full skein each of 5 colors of fingering weight yarn, the length is easily customizable and also might be a great way to use up all your little bits of leftover fingering weight yarn!.

The pattern is both written and charted.
