Initially designed to help Haiti after their devastating Earthquake, $5 per pattern download was donated to Doctors without Borders for their work throughout the world. I didn’t meet my goal of $50,000 with this single pattern, but with the help of you absolutely amazing knitters, I did reach a stunning $30,770. Thank you so much for your help!!!

This shawl can be worked in many different weights of yarn by changing needle size. The pattern is worked in a simple lace pattern from tip to top, so that you may use greater or lesser yardage with ease, to produce a smaller or larger shawl of your choice. Pattern includes both written and charted instructions. My sample shawl shown blocked to 56 x 23 inches using 450 yards of sock yarn. Notes: the larger needle is used for bind-off only. There’s a great little video of the bind off on youtube here. Thank you, Roxanne! Here is the link to a document that shows the stitch numbers for each chart row. Thanks very much to Christi (Momma2abunch)!
