Pattern Notes
Shawl is work in one piece from the top-down, in five sections. The first and last sections are worked in stockinette stitch, and the center 3 are worked in a lace pattern to the border, which is worked over the whole edge. The increase rows are worked on every other row, and the lace patterns are worked on the right side rows only.

While working the main body of the shawl, each row begins and ends with k3. There is a yarnover after the 1st m, and before the last m on each RS row. For the three center sections, you always begin and end each RS row with a k1 ex. beg k1, yo, work patt to 1 st before m, end yo, k1 (for each center section).
