Notes:

• This shawl begins with a center square which is worked on the diagonal. Stitches are picked up along one edge of the square and a border is worked; this is repeated three more times to create four borders. The borders are then sewn together. A sideways-knit edging is worked around the perimeter, joined every wrong-side row to a border stitch.

• Use a fine fishing line threaded through the border stitches as a lifeline in case of mistakes.

• Lay a white cloth on your lap while you knit with dark yarn to make it easier to see.
