NOTES

  • This shawl is worked back and forth in one piece from tip to tip. After casting on, stitches are gradually increased to the center point, then decreased to the end.

  • When working garter-stitch stripes, do not break yarn at color changes. Carry unused color up side of work until it is needed again. Bring new color under color just used.

  • The sample used almost all of one ball of MC. Consider purchasing an extra ball as insurance.

  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
