CONSTRUCTION

• This shawl is constructed by knitting the center triangle first. The center triangle starts with 1 stitch. Stitches are increased by working a yarn over (YO) at the beginning of every row. Stitches are then picked up from the yarnover loops on the edges of the Triangle, and a couple of rows are worked before proceeding to the edging, which is attached to the live stitches of the center triangle at the end of every other row.
