CROCHET YOUR OWN WINGS.
There is something you must always remember: you are braver than you believe; you are stronger than you seem; and you are smarter than you think.

CONSTRUCTION
The YOU ARE STRONG shawl is worked flat in two mirrored pieces, similar to wings, which are seamed together to finish. It uses a two color repeat that requires working each side twice before turning to prevent excess ends-weaving.

SKILLS USED
Chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet, working into chain spaces, single crochet picot, join-as-you-go seam OR mattress stitch OR zipper slip stitch seam, working with two colors
