The shawl was made following the pattern, but increasing the length to about 1.7 m and eliminating the möbius fold to make a long rectangular shawl/scarf. I found that the long sides curled in, so I added about an inch in double crochet around the full perimeter (all sides). The multicoloured Landscape self-striping yarn makes stripes of steel-grey, beige, terra cotta, and white. Very happy with the result and the pattern. The King Cole dk is very nice to work with.
