NOTES

  • This shawl is worked from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast-on.
  • When a color is used for only a few rows, carry it up the side of the work and bring it under the other color to begin working with it again. Break the yarn at the end of a stripe if that color will not be used for more than four rows.
  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
