This part is for the side panels, which add width to your Phoenix Wrap before the final border. The Phoenix Wrap makes a stunning statement shawl that can be worn in a variety of ways. It’s also suitable for donation to Sue Rock Originals Everyone, Inc., a non-profit organization in New York City that distributes handmade garments and accessories to survivors of domestic violence.

Before we move on to the pattern for the side panels, I wanted to share a few things.

I had the chance to interview Sue Rock a few weeks ago. You can listen to the interview in your browser below, or you can download the audio file here. Sue is really a remarkable woman and she shares some great stories, so have a listen!

Several crocheters have asked me about the yarn requirements this week. The materials list includes all the yarn and supplies you need for the entire shawl, not just for a specific section. To make that more clear, I have changed the wording to read “Materials for the Entire Project.” I hope this helps!

The first part of the Phoenix Wrap was actually the longest part of the pattern! Now you’ll just be adding on the side panels using a flat shell stitch. This will add to the width of the shawl, but the length will be unchanged.

In next week’s section, we’ll add a border to finish off the shawl. Breath a sigh of relief — the biggest and most difficult part of the Phoenix Wrap is behind you!
