The fingering weight version modifies the feather pattern of Buteo. It also features a garter stitch top border.

Pattern Notes
This shawl is worked from the bottom edge up. Decreases in the charts then short rows are worked to shape the shawl.

The feather motif is very heavily modified from Herbert Niebling’s Königskerze.
