Skill Level
Advanced or Ambitious Beginner. Requires basic short row shaping and simple color changes.

When working a shawl, many knitters opt not to swatch for gauge, and gauge is not crucial with this pattern. If you do not intend to swatch, it would be in your best interest to get a second skein of the CC, as nearly all of the skein was used in the sample.
