Notes from the Designer:

An inspirational pattern based on my favorite poem, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. This shawl is crocheted in the shape of an asymmetrical, right-leaning triangle and has three separate sections with alternating colors and stitch patterns.

• The original version was made with Alpaca Silk DK yarn and used two skeins of Ash (Color A) and three skeins of Tiffany (Color B).
• The updated sample shown used approximately 1,720 yds/1,573 m total: Color A: 441 yds/403 m, Color B: 567 yds/518 m, Color C: 356 yds/326 m, Color D: 217 yds/198 m, and Color E: 139 yds/127 m.
• The updated sample uses two strands held together throughout.
• Beginning chain DOES NOT count as stitch in stitch count of each row, unless otherwise noted.
• Pattern is worked from top down to smaller tip with decrease rows marked.
• Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect size and yardage used.
• In the original version, there are color changes in the first two sections. You can carry the colors up the sides or fasten off, whichever you prefer.
• To keep the Trellis Stitch Section from bunching or gathering, you may switch to the US Size I hook listed in the Hook section above.
