PATTERN NOTES
Shawl is worked from the top centre from a garter tab and increased at centre and outer edges to form wingspan. Yarn is held double throughout. Row numbers are given relative to each section, rather than to the overall pattern. It is recommended to mark or check off rows as you complete them so you don’t lose your spot in the pattern!
