Jane's Better Looking Sister Triangular Shawl Knitting Pattern by zilamonster Kate Paulus 2011

Jane's better looking Sister.

Notes: 1) Construction: This is a triangular shawl construction which increases by 4 stitches every odd row starting with row 3 2) Stitches used: a.K -knit b. P -purl c. O - make 1 or yarn over, whichever you prefer d. Kfb - knit front and back (increase by 1) 3) General notes: a. Starting with row 5 (or later on if you want), you can increase by 6 stitches every odd row if you like by doing a M1 and a yo at the left and right border edge (yo, m1 for the left side; m1, yo for the right side- they should mirror each other). This will make the shawl wider faster. You'll end up with less of a triangle and more of a half circle/ pacman shape b. When you get to row 161, you create the ruffle by purling all purl stitches and (kfb) knitting front and back of all knit stitches when your shawl has reached the desired length (another way to put this is: you increase every other stitchwhich happens to be a knit stitch- in the main body) c. This is my first attempt at a pattern. Knit at your own risk d. This pattern has not been test knit! Knit at your own risk
