Pattern Construction
This pattern begins with a handful of stitches at cast-on and is worked by increasing along one edge to completion of “part I”. The shawl is then completed by decreasing back to only a handful of stitches.

Part I of this pattern is worked in a modified garter stitch design, using two contrasting colorways. Part II of this pattern is worked in Herringbone stitch using a single (third) colorway.

This is an advanced beginner / intermediate level pattern.
