Pattern Notes

The shawl is worked on the bias from the right tip to the left bottom side.

On every RS row, one stitch is increased at beginning of row (along the top edge), and one stitch is decreased at end of row (along bottom right side). On every WS row, one stitch is increased at end of row (along the top edge). As a result, for every two rows, the number of stitches is increased by one stitch.

The single rows in contrasting colors are made by working all but first and last stitches an extra time. No increase or decrease is thus made on this extra row. The slipped edge stitches span over three rows instead of the usual two rows.

Extra WS row (creates a one row stripe of another color): With color indicated, sl1p wyf, p until 1 st rem, sl1p wyf.

Push all the stitches back on the circular needle, change back to previous color, and cont with a WS row in basic pattern.

Extra RS row (creates a one row stripe of another color): With color indicated, sl1p wyb, k until 1 st rem, sl1p wyb.

Push all the stitches back on the circular needle, change back to previous color, and cont in basic pattern beg with a RS row.

A lot of color changes means a lot of ends to weave in – do it as you go.
