NOTES

• This shawl is worked back and forth in rows from the bottom up. The lace section is worked without shaping. The short-rows in the crescent section do not need to be wrapped because decreases in subsequent rows close the gaps created by the turns.

• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
