Pattern Notes

Pattern is asymmetrical, meaning it increases in width on one side.

Starting Lch does not count as first stitch. Starting ch 3 DOES count as first stitch.

Shawl can be made any size you prefer.

You will increase by 1 st each row.

I used 3 colors for my shawl. I used the first color in the first 3 repeats of rows 2 and 3. Then I used the 2^nd color for the first repeat of rows 14 and 15. I then used the 2^nd color for the next repeat, alternating the 2^nd and 3^rd colors when repeating rows 14 and 15. Then I used the 3^rd color for the last repeat of rows 2 and 3.  Get creative with your colorwork if you desire!
