• This shawl is worked from the top down with a repeating motif, making it
adjustable to any size you wish!
• On wrong side rows 2 and 6, you can double check your stitch count by
making sure there is an even number of stitches on each side of the center
markers. If you don’t have an even number your yo and k2tog section won’t
work out. The actual count won’t matter, just that the number of stitches is an
even number.
• When winding your spincycle yarns, wind them all before starting and choose
the skein with the shortest (most) color changes first, and the longest (least) as
your last.
• WARNING: Gauge is very important. Any larger than 5 stitches/inch and you
risk running out of yarn, there isn’t much yardage padding in this pattern. If you
feel like you’re at all a loose knitter, start on a US 5 needle. Since the pattern is
repeating, you can stop after any number of repeats, or add if you have extra
yardage. If you’re concerned about yardage, it would be best to weigh your
skeins as you go after each repeat. As the rows get longer, it really starts to eat
up yarn.
