Description
Worked flat, Nexus contains written directions and charts. A link to a handy-dandy progress tracker is included to help you with your row and stitch counts should you need it.
This shawl pattern shines well with solid, semi-solid, lightly variegated, or speckled yarns. Picking an appropriate yarn for this project will ensure the yarn and the pattern are not in competition with one another, rather, they’re working together to create something magical.
