PATTERN NOTES
Galang! is a simple top-down triangle shawl with an inlay lace pattern. The pattern gives you two options for the body - garter or stockinette. You decide which best highlight your yarn. Because this pattern is so versatile, you can use any weight; choose a needle size at least three times larger than the manufacturer’s recommendation for that yarn weight.
