The Monongahela is named after the Monongahela River which flows through West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Monongahela, loosely translated means, “It has a loose bank where one might fall in”, which sounds awful slippy (Pittsburghese for ‘slippery’).
The shaping is designed so the shawl sits securely on your shoulders without slipping. This is a ‘choose your adventure’ sort of pattern, thus the yardage variation from 120-1600 yards. There are 46 pages in this pattern but one could knit more than 46 versions of this shawl from those pages. I have attempted to make it easy to print out only the pages you need.
The pattern is in my library and should contain the updates. I just downloaded the most recent copy but at 46 pages, Im going to just add the errata here:

Point Set-up
’row 38’ should be ‘row 53’ The repeats were also unmarked. Below is row 53 corrected.
row 53:k1, ssk, yo, ssk, yo, ssk, yo, ssk, yo, k1, yo, k2t, yo, k2t, yo, k2t, yo, (k1, yo, ssk, yo, ssk, yo, ssk, yo, k3, yo, k2t, yo, k2t, yo, k2t, yo) X plus 2 times, k1, yo, ssk, yo, ssk, yo, ssk, yo, k1, yo, k2t, yo, k2t, yo, k2t, yo, k2t, k1
The First Point also has the incorrect row numbers but otherwise appears correct. It should start with row 55 and so forth instead of row 40.
This could be a small, simple shawlette or a massive, body wrapping shawl.
