But after that, my mind began to wonder \u2013 what would happen if I broke the rules and tried other shawl scapes for the yarn? Well, the yarn works just as wonderful as for triangular shawls! Peacock at the Beach is the first in a series of shawls using Caterpillargreen yarn for shawls that are not triangular. The pattern is written out as well as charted. Instructions for a shawl without the border, using just one XL skein of the Shawl stripes yarn, are given as well.
