HeartString FiberArts' Half Note Symphony Shawl is a
semi-circular lace shawl, in alternating wedges of 2 harmonious colors, it
features a fluted hem and scooped neckline turned back into an asymmetric
collar. Purl lace short-row wedges, separated by spokes of garter stitch bands,
gradually narrow as they encircle the shawl.

Its
designed to be attractive on a range of sizes and body types. Because of the
fluid, amorphous character of the purl lace, this "one size fits all" shawl can
be further varied by the degree of tautness in the blocking process (from
relaxed to extremely stretched). 
Sizing: 32" - 42" length at front+collar edges depending
on degree of blocking; 25" - 32" center back length as worn
