School Day is a shawl about rhythm and repetition. It is worked in worsted weight yarn and in squishy feather and fan pattern. Drape it over your shoulders or wear it as a scarf, it will keep you cozy.

The stitch pattern is fully charted and also comes with complete written instruction. Being worked in the bias from the smaller tip, it is easy to adjust the size to your liking. The stitch pattern looks best when the main color has subtle color variation.

Measurements are given in both centimeters and inches.
