The shawlette measures 55”/140 cm wide x 18”/46 cm deep.

TIPS AND TRICKS is a separate 13-page PDF. It contains extra information on all the key details of the shawl, plus tips on yarn selection, gauge, correcting errors, blocking, and much more! Learn about Visual Row Tracking – my favourite way to count rows. As an experienced knitting instructor, I love to share helpful tips, and offer lots of advice!

SKILL LEVEL - Well within the capabilities of an adventurous beginner, but interesting enough for an experienced knitter to enjoy.
