NOTES

• This shawl is worked back and forth in rows from the narrow end to the wide end.

• Slip stitches purlwise with yarn in front unless specified otherwise.

• Each slipped stitch with its companion yarnover are treated as one stitch, including when counting stitches and working decreases. When counting rows, Rows 1 (A) and 1 (B) count as one row, and Rows 2 (A) and 2 (B) count as one row.

• Work A rows with color A and B rows with color B.

• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches and to make both ends of the needle available when sliding stitches back and forth.
