You make the border first then working short rows along the border to build the body makes this an exciting piece to make.
It is easy enough for beginner crocheters and exciting enough for experienced crocheters. Use the fun It’s a Wrap Rainbow Sprinkles yarn to get the same wonderful look of this shawl.
