Knit HeartStrings Cascading
Hearts Shawl for someone special or as a special treat for yourself. The shawl is adapted from the
Faroese style and is shaped to fit naturally around the neck.
The pattern starts with the
center back neckband and proceeds from the neck down with necessary
shaping increases. The panels and garter stitch bands are further
enhanced by Jackie's method of increases that results in the appearance
of a "fake" decrease line.
Sizing - One size depending on
weight of yarn used. See sample cover page below for dimensions.
