FINISHING

Bind off all stitches loosely.

Weave in ends and block moderately, pinning to open up the lace. This shawl has the ability to be blocked gently to aggressively. The sample shawl pictured above was blocked aggressively to open up all of the stitches, not just the lace. If you do not care for such an airy look, simply soak and lay flat to dry.
