Notes Shawl is crocheted in three sections. First the back wedge panel is stitched, and then single crochet stitches are worked up one edge of the panel to form the foundation for one of the lace sections of the shawl. Yarn will be joined at the other edge of the wedge panel to stitch another row of single crochet that serves as the foundation for the second lace section of the shawl.

Wet block shawl to measurements and/or preference, then weave in ends. Please note, shawl on model was aggressively blocked out to make lace stitches as open as possible, which created a longer length. If a more closed lace pattern is desired, more rows in the lace pattern will need to be completed to create the desired length. If more rows are needed, try to end on either a repeat of Row 3 or Row 5 to produce a waved edge.
