Pattern Notes

This shawl is worked from the top down, starting with a tab cast-on. The body of the shawl is then worked using half-pi increases paired with additional edge increases. in sections four and five. This creates a blended shape somewhere between a half circle and a crescent shawl.

Contrasting stripes of garter stitch are worked at each half-pi increase section. The border is worked in a feather and fan style stripe.
