PATTERN NOTES
This shawl is knit flat in once piece, beginning at the tip with just two stitches, and increasing to the widest point. The shawl is finished with an I-cord edging on each of the straight edges, and fringe on the diagonal edge.
Do not cut yarn when changing between colors. Simply carry the unused strand loosely up the side of the work.
