Currently being tested. Pattern to be released in April 2024.

This half pi shawl was inspired by the majestic Common Loon. The shawl is constructed using an i-cord tab cast on, i-cord edging, and a loopy i-cord bind off to mimic the ends of the flight feathers. This shawl is great to learn or to practice various types of stitch patterns from stockinette, garter, linen, mosaic, and a lace pattern. While the Common Loon is black and white, this pattern can be used for any good contrasting color combinations!
