Tidblad is worked from tip to tip. You start from the outer edge of the lace edge and make increases on the body every 4th row on the first stitch of the body. The increases are made on the right side of the shawl, every time you make the RT:s (right twists). You keep on doing this for the first ball of yarn, see Part A in the illustration below. Switch yarn at the ehd of a row and proceed to Part B, where you increase only every 8th row, that is every other time you make ah RT. 1n Part C you make ho increases, ahd in Part D ahd E you make decreases where you make increases, every 8th and every 4th row, respectively. Every Part of the shawl is made from one ball of yarn.

Increases/decreases are made in 1st stitch of the body, on the knit side. Every Part of the pattern represents 50 g of yarh.
