The design for this shawl is inspired by traditional motifs seen on the remote island of Sumba in Indonesia. The pattern instructions are charted and include optional instructions for adding beads and modifying the length and width.

Most importantly, all sales from this pattern will be donated to Operation Dig. This project is sponsored by the Sumba Youth Initiative and aims to build a clean water well for a local orphanage in Waitabula, Sumba.
