Designer Note About Construction
The shawl is worked from the top down. You’ll start with a tab, pick up a few stitches, and then work the body of the shawl.

This is an ideal pattern since you can stop any time, or when you run out of yarn. Keep in mind that if you want to make the shawl larger, you’ll need to purchase more yarn.
