Pattern Notes
A different size can easily be achieved by choosing another yarn weight and/or needle size. The edges of this shawl tend to be tight, especially in Section 2 – Chevron. Maintain loose tension on the first stitch of each row so that the edges are flexible enough to stretch and block properly.
- This pattern was originally designed in Fleece Artist Nova Wool but any fingering or sock weight yarn will work.
