PATTERN NOTES
This shawl is worked from the top down, starting with a garter tab cast on. Wide spines with cables in a contrasting color are worked on a background of reverse stockinette in the main color, separating each section of the shawl. A knitted-on border is worked perpendicular to the body of the shawl.

This shawl uses the Intarsia method for colorwork. When switching to a new color in the same row, bring the new color up and around the previous color to prevent holes from forming in the work. You will attach 2 balls of the contrast color to work the colorwork cable pattern.

The shawl is both written and charted for your convenience.
