NOTES
-
This shawl is composed of eight equilateral triangles, each worked in the round from the outside edge to the center. Each subsequent triangle is picked up from one edge of the previous, thus joining the triangles as they are worked.
-
Use the long-tail cast-on method throughout.
-
When working triangles, change to shorter circular needle and double-pointed needles as necessary.
