NOTES

  • This shawl is worked from the bottom up. A triangle is formed as you knit, then the stitches in the middle of the shawl are bound off and each side is continued to create the long wingspan. The cast-on stitches at the bottom of the shawl are grafted together.

  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
