In lieu of payment to me, I prefer that people donate directly to the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California in exchange for my patterns. The EFNC is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that provides services to people with epilepsy. Suggested donation has been $5 for Candlelight.

If you are interested, to donate, please visit https://www.epilepsynorcal.org/donate.php where there is a button to donate via PayPal. Then, copy and paste the receipt and I will send you the pattern either by Rav download or by email, your preference.

Thanks for your interest and support!

A pattern for the Northern California affiliate of the Epilepsy Foundation of America. EFNC is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that provides services to people with epilepsy.

It is suitable for a wide choice of yarn. Skills required: beginning to intermediate lace knitting, reading a chart

All proceeds from the sale of this pattern on Ravelry will go to support the organization. If want to contribute to the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California (EFNC) directly, that’s great! Just tell me about it via PM, and I will send you the pattern. Note that currently EFNC does not have the ability to accept donations via PayPal but this may change in the near future.

Pattern note: Pattern repeat is rows 13-20 of chart (boxed in red); full chart is shown through row 30 to illustrate how the shawl grows. N.B. that row 29 is like row 13, so the next RS row you knit after the chart ends (i.e., row 31) will be like row 15 from the boxed pattern repeat.
