Shoalwater Shawl (S-2011)

Blocked Size: Approximately 40” deep and 80” across top in fingering, sport, or DK weight yarn following the suggested number of pattern repeats. In lace weight yarn with 4 repeats of lace pattern the shawl will measure about 36” deep and 72” across. Change the number of pattern repeats for a smaller or larger shawl.
