This shawl was designed to have matching ends by starting at the ends and joining the 2 pieces after blocking. Blocking first helps to ensure that the seam is no tighter than the knitting and therefore does not pull the stole out of shape in the middle.
Note: this shawl was knitted 5 years ago, I have not tested this pattern so please advise me of any problems you have. The pattern was written from the finished garment so it should match.

Needles: 5mm
Size:
Before blocking -72′ x18″/180cm x 45cm

I found that when I switched the ssk with the k2 that it turned out more like the picture. Other than that, I love the pattern. Thanks!
That’s the problem with writing the pattern so long after making the wrap! Thanks for pointing it out.
So to get the finish in the detail pattern on the right row 1 would be k2 (k2tog, k3 yo k1 yo k3 SSK) 10 times k2
Use which ever you prefer, just be consistent throughout!
Love this pattern – I have just the yarn to make it with! Many thanks for sharing it!
I am just starting to knit this pattern, it is so beautiful. I’m making it out of “comfy sport”, so soft and washable. I wanted something I can easily carry along for cool mornings or evenings. I can’t wait to get it finished. Thank you for sharing this pattern, I’ve made lots of shawls, I think this will be my favorite. ( I made the changes mentioned above and it works ou well.
I know it’s been a couple of years since you posted this, but I have been looking for a pattern like this for a long time and am thrilled that I found this! I already have the yarn and I am going to start it tonight! Thank you for sharing!
