Repeat row 3 until you have reached the length you require, or run out of yarn! I made a total of 104 rows using 2 cakes of yarn. I left enough for fringing. Weave in all threads

Finishing

Block shawl by pinning into shape and steaming gently. Cut lengths of yarn approx. 10-12in [25-30cm] long. I used 6 lengths for one side, and 7 lengths for the other side (total of 13) You will need 10-15 lengths of yarn for each fringe piece, depending how thick you want your fringe. Fold each piece in half and attach to the points on both ends of wrap.
