This half-circle pi shawl is based on characters of the Fellowship of the Ring, featured in the novel The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Each of the nine members of the Fellowship are represented in this shawl by a distinct lace chart.

There is a thread for the knitting-along here: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/lord-of-the-rings/2154495/...

The nine pdfs from the KAL are still up, for those who wish to play along that way, but all nine clues are also compiled in one pdf. Both the nine and the one pdf are included in the purchased pattern.

Clue 1: Boromir.
Clue 2: Legolas.
Clue 3: Gimli.
Clue 4: Gandalf.
Clue 5: Aragorn.
Clue 6: Merry.
Clue 7: Pippin.
Clue 8: Sam.
Clue 9: Frodo.

6/27/2012: The whole pattern is now available as a single pdf, and all issues addressed in the Knit-A-Long thread have been fixed.
