Pattern Notes
The shawl is worked on a looser gauge than recommended for the yarn, to create a soft and drapey fabric.

Work back and forth on circular needle.

Work yo’s twisted to close up the hole, i.e knit or purl according to pattern into back lp of yo, unless otherwise instructed.

Slip sts purl-wise.

Carry colors not in use along the side edge, twisting the color in use around the strands not used before starting a new row.
