From the pattern description This shawl is unusual in that it begins with the lacy border worked as an edging and then the shawl stitches are picked up from the straight side of the edging and the shawl is worked up from there.

Additional yarn information Pattern calls for 5 colors of yarn: Icelandic lace weight singles in five natural sheep colors, approx. 40 gms (200 yds) white and four brown colors, denoted A, B, C, and D from light to dark, respectively. About 40 gms (200 yds) of the lightest brown and small amounts of the other three browns are needed.

Additional gauge and size information No gauge is given, but the finished size is stated as 70cm (28”) down center back.
