“For some minutes it puffed away without speaking, but at last it unfolded its arms, took the hookah out of its mouth again, and said, ‘So you think you’re changed, do you?’” ~The Blue Caterpillar, Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

When I first conceived of this shawlette, I was not thinking of the Blue Caterpillar. As my shawl grew and the stitches swept from my needles, I began to think of it more and more. As a caterpillar changes into a butterfly, so too does our yarn into a beautifulshawl. This shawl is just as questioning as that Blue Caterpillar beginning with one pattern, making its way into steady stripes, and once again into 2 different stitch patterns before it reaches the end.

Both written and charted directions are included in this pattern. Please read the entire pattern before beginning.
