Design by Johanna Lindahl / Mijo Crochet

Please note that this pattern is for personal use only. I know it is easy to share my patterns with
your yarn loving friends, but instead why not just give them the link to my Ravelry Store. This
way I can keep on creating patterns to keep you and your friends happily busy crocheting. Thank
you <3

The Menandore shawl has the shape of an

asymmetric narrow triangle which makes it perfect
to wear as a scarf. The shawl is crocheted from one
side to the other in rows and begins at the narrow
end.
