PATTERN NOTES
This stole is worked in one piece on the bias, meaning that it begins in one corner, gradually increasing to the desired width, then is worked evenly until shawl reaches the desired length on the longest side, before decreasing into the opposite corner.
For MC set, A is the lightest colour though F as the darkest colour. For CC set, G is the darkest colour and L is the lightest colour. Please see the colour guide and schematic (p 5) for exact colour layout.
You may prefer to follow the colour instructions as they are specified here, or to maximize the use of your yarn, divide each skein into halves (using a kitchen scale) and work each section until the ball runs out of yarn, as desired.
The Lace, Bee, and Rib stitch instructions are both written (see Stitches Used) and charted (p 3) for your preference.
