Note: I’m not convinced the yardage on my yarn is accurate. I definitely used 0.6 skeins, but 360 yards seems too low for the size of the shawl.

The yarn I chose wound up much more purple than I expected (it looked more blue in the skein). I think it will work though.
Cast on using an improvised garter tab rather than the suggested cast on just because that’s my personal preference.

Ripped and restarted with a more tonal yarn. I was worried the variegation in my original choice was going to fight the pattern too much.

Much happier with the revised yarn choice. Solid color/tonal is the way to go.

Finished Chart 2!

Struggled a bit with the transition between chart 3 and 4. With how the chart is formatted, it’s difficult to see how things line up, but the pattern is accurate. Trust the charts.

Finished chart 4, on to chart 5! Note that the pink portion in chart 5 is repeated four times.

Started on chart 6 last night. The pattern repeat isn’t specified, but it’s geometric enough that I was able to figure it out.
Edited to add: jk, the pattern repeat is specified in the chart. It’s just not visible on the low resolution copy I printed out.

I don’t think you’re supposed to knit row 35 of chart 6. The stitch count definitely doesn’t work if you knit it. It does work if you treat it as a charted version of the crochet bind off though.

Used size D crochet hook for bind off.
