MEASUREMENTS
Shawl measures 180x148x81cm (70 x58 x32in) after blocking
ABBREVIATIONS
htr-hump Work st indicated into the extra loop that sits on the WS of the htr st in previous row; this loop will be facing you as you are working in turned rows

Move over milk and cookies; take a hike tea and cake! We think the grey stripes and yellow bobbles on this shawl are the perfect pairings.
NOTES
Shawl is worked in increasing rows, beginning at the corner of the narrow end. Fabric will naturally curl in towards RS as you are working; however, this is resolved once the edging is worked and the Shawl is blocked.
