What testers had to say:
“I love any pattern that lets me use up some of my random stash! It was also easy to fall into a rhythm one the piece was started which made it a relaxing knit for me.”
“Liked the meditative in the pattern and how easy it is to change size after my own preferences.”
“Obviously since I only had 4 yards of yarn left the directions for section 4 were very accurate! Very well thought out.”
“The pattern is beautiful and I can’t wait to make more with this one down the road!”
Skills: knitting and purling flat, increases (Kfb, YO, M1L, M1R), and decreases (K2tog, SSK, CCD). Lace is both charted and written out.
Yarn:
1 color fingering yarn. Recommend at least 100 g/3.5 oz skein. May use different weights or amounts if desired, though this will affect the finished size of the shawl.

Tapestry needle to weave in ends
Blocking mat and wires and/or pins
