To Knit DAMASCUS as a square shawl.
As a square shawl DAMASCUS would benefit from using a thinner yarn on the same size needles - the additional openness will be compensated for by the fact that it would normally be worn doubled. A) Ignore first 4 stitches of each row. B) Ignore last 3 stitches of each row. C) final 'v' becomes a 'w'. D) start of round moves 1 right at the end of each "resting" row. (second increase from the final 'w' becomes the first stitch of the next pattern row) Cast on 6 stitches; join and knit 1 row; next row double by working knit front and back in each stitch. 12 stitches. knit around. Continue from row 7. Even rows are knit around until row 20 - at which point knit the knits and purl the purls; knit into the YO's
