Instructions:
NOTE: If shawl needs to be sized down, seam longer armhole seams. If shawl needs to be sized up, seam shorter armhole seams. Alternatively, work can be made longer or shorter than 25" in length to fit wearer and an additional hank of Disco Lights will be needed. If work is made longer, the picot edge must also be made longer.
