Pattern Notes:

1. The shawl is worked from the top down and is made up of 2 triangles separated by a center spine, worked on puff stitches.
2. Center spine stitches are marked in red for easier visualization. A place marker will not be necessary as the group of stitches that form the spine is easily identifiable.
