Bind off the remaining 20 stitches, by making a Sl St in each St.

Top edge

To make the shawl curve more along the top edge and to help it stay on your shoulders, do not cut the yarn.

Using the smaller regular hook, make 1 Sc in each end of row (Ls) along the top of the shawl, with the right side of the work facing you.

Turn and Sl St in each Sc to tighten this edge up a little more.

Cut off the yarn and weave in the ends.

Block the shawl into shape by using a blocking wire on the top edge and making sure to open up the eyelets and especially the feather ends.
