PATTERN NOTES
This boomerang-shaped shawlette is worked on the bias. It begins at the tip, starting with a small number of stitches, and increases to the widest edge.

Please note that this shawlette is written to make the most of one ball of Fonty Soyeuse. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece, or you may wish to purchase an extra ball as insurance.
