Notes

The shawl is a long rectangle approximately 70in (178cm) length x 18in (46cm) wide.

The wrap can be made longer or wider by working more pattern repeats. This will alter the amount of yarn required.

Pattern multiple is 16 chains + 4 ch.

Gauge is not important.

Repeat row 3 until you have reached the length you require or run out of yarn! You may want to make a total of 104 rows using 2 cakes of yarn. Leave enough for fringing. Weave in all threads.

Finishing

Block the shawl by pinning into shape and steaming gently. Cut lengths of yarn approximately 10-12in (25-30cm) long. Use 6 lengths for one side and 7 lengths for the other side (total of 13). You will need 10-15 lengths of yarn for each fringe piece, depending on how thick you want your fringe. Fold each piece in half and attach to the points on both ends of the wrap.
