Construction
The Elafonisi Beach Shawl is designed to make the most of a single skein of assigned pooling yarn. The shawl is worked in three sections: an increase section, an optional short rows section, and a decrease section, creating a triangle shape. The short rows are meant to give more breathing space to the point of the triangle so it won’t pull in so easily when worn.
