Virdek Shawl
Error Note: In the book version of this pattern the chart shows using a M1L and the written instructions show using a M1R. It was my intention for the M1L to be used. However, as long as you are consistently doing one or the other it won’t matter which you use. In the individual pattern that is now released I changed the written instructions to be M1L.
CONSTRUCTION
This shawl features a geometric textured pattern worked sideways in two pieces, which are then joined with a Three Needle Bind Off for an exposed seam. The texture pattern can be worked from charts or written instructions.
