It has to be noted that there should always be 2 more knits between the lace holes than in the previous lace row. Now the stitches are divided up by that number (as evenly as possible).
RUFFLE
The ruffle requires 25% of the entire amount of yarn. Therefore you should weigh your yarn, if you use a different kind of yarn. Row 128: kfb, (yo, k1) to 1 st before end, kfb Row 129 and following: basic pattern Row 129 shall be repeated until the yarn is almost used up. Please keep enough yarn for binding off, as this requires a lot of yarn. Tip: weigh your skein after every row so that you know, how much yarn is used up for one row. The binding off will need about 1,5 times as much yarn as a normal row in the basic pattern
FINISHING
Bind off al stitches unsing the US 8 / 5 mm needle. Weave in all ends. The shawl does not need to be blocked and can be worn immediately ? Have fun with my pattern
