Notes:
- Stitch multiple is 2 + 2 (understanding stitch multiples)

Thank you Verna ♥
I’ve not made many shawls, only because I was busy making other items. I love the colorway in this Skinny Cake. I do enjoy larger shawls and it’s awesome that it only takes one cake. The open stitches adds a nice touch to it allowing more air to breath through. Thank you Rhondda.
