Autumn is such a beautiful time. The colors and the light are just gorgeus. And the hypnotic swaying of crop fields! It is like waves of the ocean. These are the things that inspired this half circle shawl.

This pattern gives you instructions to two versions, made with different yarns and different endings. Both versions start in the same way, they are worked from top down with increase rounds. Version A has more repeats as it is thinner yarn. Version B is knit with holding the yarns together until the ruffle at the end.
