Color Sequence:

The beauty of this pattern is that you get to select which colors you want to use in each section, and each section is bigger than the last so you will use MORE yarn the larger the section number.

Continue in the pattern following the color sequence you already established. If you find you want to change it up, you can totally do that! If you find you want to use only one color or more than 2 colors in a section, totally up to you. Just remember to anticipate the amount of yarn you will need.

Pattern

Section 6– Mosaic Blocks

Notes for Section 6: Use two colors in this section and change colors when indicated.

‼️This section should be the same size as your section 4. My gauge for this section was approx 4 sts and 4 rows = 1”.

⭐️Maintain the established sequence of “jagged” edge of the shawl on the same side when you work these sections. If you are looking at the RS of the shawl, the “jagged” edge will be on the left side of the fabric if you’re right handed, on the right side of the fabric if you’re left handed.⭐️
