Pattern Notes
This shawl is constructed of a main body with a knit-on lace edging. The body is constructed in a traditional triangle method, beginning with Chart A, then moving to Chart B after there are 25 sts. Next work Chart B twice until there are 265 sts. The knit-on edging begins with Chart C, working to the marked center stitch of the body. Short rows are used to shape the edging around the center point of the body. Written instructions are provided for all charts, so you may work from the charts or the written instructions.
