An overall pattern of k1, p1 ribbing makes this shawl extra plush. It’s knit from the bottom edge up, with four-stitch decreases forming the defined center line. Wide stripes create the arrow pattern. The first stitch of each row is slipped to keep the top edge tidy.

FACT: Don’t be concerned if the shawl doesn’t look like the photo while you’re knitting. It takes on its true shape after blocking.
