PATTERN NOTES
This crescent shawl is worked top-down,
with 4 increases worked every RS row, and
2 increases worked every WS row. The lace
border is a knit-on edge: new stitches are cast-
on, and the border is worked at the same time
as binding off the shawl body stitches.
There are seven sections to the pattern.
Because sections are repeated throughout the
body, sections with the same instructions will
be put together.
Stitch counts in the pattern, unless otherwise
stated, are counted between markers and do
not include the three border stitches on each
edge. These border stitches should be knit on
every row.
The Doris Lace, Garter Lace, and Stockinette
Lace stitch patterns are written and charted
for your preference. You'll find the charts on
page 3.
