U.S. Terms
Stitches between *stars* are repeated. Stitches in (parenthesis) are made in the same stitch or space.
All decreases in this pattern are worked on the same side, to create the asymmetric look.
This pattern is worked in rows. Turns are assumed, not written. Please turn at the end of each row.
Special Stitches:
Decrease: Decreases are two stitches worked together. To work the decrease within the Alpine Stitch, work the fpdc and next dc together, staying consistent with the Alpine Stitch.

Row 1: Fsc 81 OR Ch 82, sc in second ch from hook and in each ch. (81 sc)
Row 2: Ch 2, dc in each stitch. (81 dc)
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in each stitch (81 sc)

(79 stitches).
Row 7: Ch 1, sc in each stitch. (79 sc)
Rows 8-157: Repeat Rows 4-7. (Row 157: 2 sc)
Row 158: Ch 1, sc dec across two stitches. Do not fasten off, but continue to Edging.
Edging:
Row 1: Ch 1, (working along the decreasing side of the shawl) sc 234 across the edge. This ends up being roughly 2 sc per dc and 1 dc in each sc. (234 sc)
Row 2: Do not chain at the beginning of the row, just turn and begin. Skip first 2 sc, *(2 dc, picot, 2 dc) in next sc, sk 2 sc, sl st in next sc, sk 2 sc,* Repeat across. End on sl st. Fasten off, weave in ends. Continue to Finishing Touches.
Finishing Touches:
Block the shawl, pinning each picot to a point to get the most out of the mountainous appearance.
For extra pizzazz when styling, add a tassel to the end of Row 158.
Follow the washing instructions on the yarn you purchased. You may need to block the shawl again after each wash to maintain the peaks of the mountain edging.
