Increasing shawl shapes

These flared shawls are knitted sideways, mostly in garter stitch, with increases worked along one edge to create the triangular shape.

Single pattern includes tutorials for increasing using kfb and m1 sts, as well as how to work slipped sts.

Refer to materials below for different options. Pattern is adjustable - you can use any yarn you want to achieve different effects and make it as deep/long as you like, working until you run out of yardage.
