ABOUT
Skill Level:
Intermediate
Pattern Notes:
This shawl is worked in wedges using offsetting short rows to make the staggered wedge edges. This pattern is designed to use the entire skein for each of the skeins in the materials list. If you lose out on yarn chicken in the last wedges, work the last RS row of the wedge until you run out of yarn and continue with the next wedge.
When the symbol * appears in the pattern, repeat the stitches that appear between the two *s until the end of the round, unless indicated otherwise.
