PATTERN NOTES
Winter solstice occurs in late December in the northern hemisphere when the sun in the sky is farthest south. Summer solstice or midsummer is when the sun is farthest north. The Solstice shawl represents both of these events.

An arrow-like cable travels upward along one side of this shawl. At the very peak of the cable as the shawl has reached maximum width, the cable swirls a couple of times, and then changes direction as the “arrow” points downward toward the ending tip.

This shawl is worked from tip to tip, beginning and ending with just two stitches. When color B is introduced on Row 35, change colors when indicated using the intarsia method. After the body of the shawl is complete, stitches along the outer edge of the shawl are picked up and worked in garter stitch for a few rows before binding off.
