The shawl is triangular in shape and combines stockinette stitch with a hole stitch pattern. It is finished with garter stitch and a crocheted border. The shawl is worked the centre of the upper edge downwards.

The pattern includes instructions for both the Basic and Customisable versions. This makes it possible to use yarn of any weight and to decide for yourself on the final look and size of the shawl.

  • Circular needles size US 7 (4,5 mm); lenght 32 in / 80 cm or longer
  • Crochet hook: US G/6 (4 mm) or US 7 (4,5 mm) for the crocheted border
  • 3 markers (one of them can be a diƯerent color to mark the central stitch)

amount of yarn used.
