Notes
The Shawl is worked flat, RS facing from right to left and bottom up.

The stitch count refers to the number of lps on hook on FP.

Bind off row should be worked loosely to allow for the extra stretching during blocking.

Blocking the shawl is recommended for this project as it opens up lace stitches and highlights the stitch pattern.

The basic stitch pattern is worked over 20 + 2 sts.
