by Elizabeth Saxton at Well-Read Knits The Time Turner Shawl is a top down shawl with a plain base and a wavy hourglass lace pattern that reminds me of Hermione's time turner in the Harry Potter books. Pattern Details

Pattern Notes:
There is a three-stitch garter border on each side of the shawl. These stitches are included in the written directions but omitted from the charts. Thick lines on the charts indicate the repeated sections for each row. The center stitch is bolded in the written directions. The charted repeats differ from those in the written directions, please work from only one.
