An exercise in texture and eyelets This pattern results in an open circle with the cast-on edge becoming the neckline. It is suggested needles and yarn be chosen to give a fabric tight enough to show the texture, loose enough to drape well. $\mathbf{N}{=}\,\mathbf{k}2\mathrm{tog}$ ， $\mathrm{O}=$ yarnover, $\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{knit}$ ， $\scriptstyle{\mathsf{p}=\mathsf{p u r l}}$ ， $\mathrm{w}=\mathrm{KOK}$ in single stitch ; $\land=\mathrm{purl}\;2$ tog (. . .) work stitches as they present ; ws knit YO's; RS purl YO's - continue until edge

As Long as you remember to keep track of which row you are on for Neptune's Edge; and that the main body has three "work as presented" rows between each chart row; you should be fine.
COLLAREDST. JACQUES-A VARIATION
Use a provisional cast on. When the shawl is complete; undo and pickup the stitches of the provisional cast on. With RS facing, purl 1 row. Turn. the WS of shawl will be facing you. this is your new RS. Work as follows: Right edge - Work the right side Neptune's edge pattern with any N in the leftmost column being worked as a knit stitch. Work p2,k3, rib across the main section, then work the left side Neptune's Edge, working any p2tog's as a plain p. Returning , work the left side Neptune's Edge, working any p2tog's as a plain p. rib across the center section work the right side Neptune's edge pattern. the reverse stockinette section will grow. Work at least two repeats of the Neptunes edge, (more as desired) Bind off loosely.
