This light and airy one-skein shawl is perfect for showing off a single skein of a really special yarn.

This shawl is worked from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast-on. Increases are worked gradually to form a semi-circular shape before moving on to the edging which is worked in a seashell pattern. The stitch pattern can be worked from the chart or written instructions, whichever you prefer.
