Pattern Notes
The shawl is knit flat from top to bottom.
On odd rows (RS), increases are made at the spine (2) and the edges (1 at the left and 1 at the right) [4 increases total].
On even rows (WS), increases are made only at the edges (1 at the left and 1 at the right) [2 increases total].
Being a reversible pattern, place a marker on the RS to remind you to work the 2 middle (spine) yarn over increases.
Start a new ball at the beginning of the row. Do not worry about the tails because they will be integrated into the fringe.

Finishing
Weave in ends. Wash and block to desired measurements
Double Knot Fringe
Prepare groups of 5 strands of 14” length that will be attached to every 4th yo hole along the long top edge of the shawl.
Fold a group of 5 strands in half, forming a loop. With RS of shawl facing, insert the crochet hook in the first yo of the top edge, place the loop on hook and pull up through the eyelet. Pull tail ends through the loop and tighten. Repeat in every 4th yo of the top edge.
With RS facing, take half the strands of one knot and half the strands of the knot next to it and knot them together, tighten, making sure edge stays flat and doesn’t buckle. Add any tails to a group of strands to integrated them into the fringe.
Lay shawl flat, “comb” the fringe straight with your fingers and cut evenly to desired length.
I like the looks of this however I’m not sure of the actual shape of this shawl. Is it folded over at the shoulders? What do you mean by “winged”?
Please supply more information.
Thank you

does this really take 40 hours?
Hi there! The timing is based on an estimation given from the designer. Everyone knits at a different speed and pace so I would just keep that in mind. Happy knitting! – Nicola, Editor
