NOTES

  • This triangular shawl is worked in rows beginning at one corner, and is shaped by increasing at the beginning of right-side rows to the upper edge. The lace border is worked using the live stitches of the upper edge and stitches picked up along the straight selvedge at the end of right-side rows.
  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
