PATTERN NOTES
This shawl is worked from the top down. For the Main Body of the shawl, 6 stitches are increased every right side row – 2 at each edge and 2 at the center. For the Edging, 6 stitches are still increased every right side row, except now the shaping changes to 3 at each edge.

In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise with yarn held to the wrong side of work.
