Versatility knows no bounds in this beautiful project. This simply constructed shawl creates a substantial material that can be draped over the shoulders in the cooler evenings, and its longer length makes it a cinch to wear in a cowl-like fashion as the winter months draw closer.

Pattern Notes

This pattern is worked from the widest part and decreased down.

Only two stitch types are used, hdc and slip stitch. The slip stitch is purely decorative and the returning Hdc row is worked in the top of the previous Hdc row. When turning for the Hdc row I have chosen to only ch1 as I prefer the edge that this creates, you can chain 2 if desired.

Pattern is easily adjustable to your preference
