This is a pdf file download for a knitting pattern.
This is a knit pattern for a shawl or a shawl vest. You can choose not to do the armholes and just have a shawl.
The construction isn't that unusual but does take some thinking through when doing the measurements and adding the armholes. The pattern contains all the math and a schematic to help you along the way. Sara, the designer offers full pattern support for her designs, so please ask her for help if you need to.
