I love knitting shawls, but I can never figure out how to wear them. I always end up tying them around by neck and subsequently look like some weird cowgirl wearing a lace bandana. Now that I have discovered short row shawls, I am no longer having this problem. I can easily wear my shawl as a scarf or wrap it around my shoulders. Because the wingspan is typically longer in a short row shawl, I now have lots more shawl wearing option. The Any Way You Want It shawl takes it to another level. With a very long wingspan, this shawl gives me more options than ever before, which is good. The “weird cowgirl look” is generally not accepted here.

A Note About Gauge:
Gauge is not critical in this pattern, but a different gauge will affect yardage and size of shawl.
