This lightweight, lacy garment is a cross between a shawl and a cardigan
ANNIKEN ALLIS
SIZING NOTES
To choose a size: use the shawl width to determine where on your arms you want the ‘sleeves’ to end. Bust circumference is less important than where you want the garment to fall on your arms. The shawligan will drop down your back with the shoulder seams falling on your back shoulders. This means that the front of the garment will look much shorter than the back, and the fronts will have a ‘waterfall’ effect. For a longer or shorter garment, work fewer or more rows.
PATTERN NOTES
The garment is worked in three pieces: one large piece for the back, and two smaller pieces for the fronts. The two front pieces are joined to the back piece by working a three-needle cast-off.
If working from the charts, note that WS rows are not shown on the charts and should be worked as: K3, P to last 3 sts, K3.
