Rectangular Shawl Patterns
I'm trying to compile a list of rectangluar shawl patterns for myself and others to be able to access quickly and easily without having to wade through a bunch of square and triangle shaped shawls in the process. While I like triangular shawls, I am really into the rectangluar ones right now. By design I've only included those for purchase on the 'net--not any which require the purchase of a book. If you know of a link to a rectangle shaped shawl that I have missed, and I'm sure I've missed many, please leave me a comment or fire off an email to jenny.raye at yahoo dot com.
Here's what I have so far, in no particular order:
