Notes

I made some modifications to the order of the pattern.

Note: I was short by 4¼ yards of one skein with my modifications. So I bought a second skein to finish it, nice, but then I made a “Willow” with the rest of that second skein and was short in my Willow by about 15 yards, so I used a complimentary colour skein to finish it. So now I have a short skein of Madeline tosh dk light looking for a project…LOL!

I wanted a larger shawl because my shoulders are a little broader for my size, so I changed the row count of some sections and also made additional sections, which are, 1. a second section of the knotted open work and 2. an additional set of the butterflies.

I omitted the double row of eyelets that would normally separate the sections and just did a garter ridge in order to make a marked separation between these additional sections.

so my modifications made the shawl as follows:

  1. eyelets
  2. butterflies
  3. eyelets
  4. butterflies
  5. eyelets
  6. knotted openwork (7 yo rows not 8 as in the pattern)
  7. garter stitch ridge
  8. butterflies (one extra stockinette row in the top portion of butterflies to accommodate the garter ridge that is made between this section and section #7)
  9. garter stitch ridge
  10. knotted openwork (6 yo rows in this addition)
  11. garter stitch ridge
  12. ruffled edge section

Lovely shawl and it sits nicely on my shoulders and the sides fall to a nice length on my arm that would be about the same length as the sleeve of a tee-shirt.
