ADDITIONAL NOTES - PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING!
Steeked Construction
Please be aware this shawl is worked in the round with a steek, then cut open after completion. This is not an optional element of the pattern; you cannot convert it to flat knitting because the lace repeat chart only works in the round. That said: Steeking is truly easy; all you need to make sure of is that you use a suitable yarn. But if you categorically do not want to steek, this is not the right pattern for you.
Increasing in Pattern
Charts are provided for the main pattern repeat. Additionally, increases are charted for the initial 52 rounds, with accompanying stitch-by-stitch written instructions. Beyond this point, the knitter is expected to understand how to increase in pattern while referring to the main chart only. Some knitters find it extremely intuitive to increase in pattern. Others do not. If you know yourself to be in the latter category, this is perhaps not the right project for you. Alternatives for a short kerchief-hat (or a simple cowl which requires no increasing at all) are provided, should you try the main pattern and find it too difficult.
