PATTERN NOTES

Construction method: This shawl consists of square and triangle motifs. After the first triangle is made, each motif is joined to the last using the join-as-you-go slip stitch technique (as described in instructions). The shawl is worked in rows of motifs from left to right and from the top down.

Using a different yarn: The shawl can be adapted to for other weights of yarn and to create different finished sizes by beginning with row 4 or row 7 of the assembly diagram. Choose a hook size slightly larger than ball band recommendations to maintain fabric drape. Note that yardage requirements will change if you do this.
