Blue Song - crochet shawl

One pattern, two borders, endless variations - this is what designer EclatDuSoleil/Hélène Marcy offers with Blue Song! The body of the shawl is always worked in the same stitch pattern, but depending on your choice between colour blocking and narrow stripes and your pick of border, you can customize this pattern to your own liking.
