Pattern Notes
Shawl is worked from chart and written instructions using the intarsia crochet technique: When changing color, drop previous color and begin working with new color. Do not carry unused color; do not work over unused color.
When changing color, work to last loop of stitch with current color, yo and draw through with new color.
Cut yarn only when a color section is completed unless otherwise stated. On rows 19, 37 and 55, one of the yarn colors is cut and rejoined in the next row.
Odd-numbered rows are right-side rows worked from right to left; even-numbered rows are wrong-side rows worked from left to right.
Each box on chart represents 1 stitch.
Rows 2-74 are worked in front loop single crochet.

Finishing
Weave in ends.
With MC, make 4 tassels as follows and fasten one to each ch-2 corner of the shawl:
For each tassel, cut 40 12-inch strands and two 24-inch strands of yarn. Arrange the 40 12-inch strands in a bundle and tie one of the 24-inch strands around the center. Fold the bundle in half at the center and tie tightly with the 24-inch strand. Wrap the remaining 24-inch strand of yarn around the tassel several times 1.5 inches below the fold. Tie tightly and use a tapestry needle to pull ends of the tie to the center of the tassel. Trim bottom edge of the tassel even.
I appreciate it when a list of stitches used is at the beginning of the pattern. That way if it looks too complicated, I won’t spend the paper and ink it takes to print the pattern. Thank you.
