NOTES
-
This triangular shawl is worked from the center neck down and outward to the points.
-
The sample shawl used almost all of two balls of main color (MC). Consider purchasing an extra ball as insurance.
-
A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
-
Do not break MC at color changes. Carry MC up the side of the work until it is needed again. Bring the new color under the color just used.
