This semi-circular shawl is knit from the nape of the neck down to the bottom border. There are seven sections (including the border) and the stitch patterns and techniques get progressively more difficult as you move from section to section. Likewise, the instructions get more difficult: the first three sections are worked from written instructions only, the fourth section can be worked from either written instructions or a chart, and the final three sections (including the border) are worked entirely from charts.
