Continuing the Pattern
- Even Rows (6, 8, 10, etc.): Increase in the first and last stitch.
- Odd Rows (7, 9, 11, etc.): Increase in the center stitch.
- Always use the stitch marker to mark the center stitch and move it up as you progress.
Changing Colors (Optional)
- To change the color, complete the last stitch of the row before the new color with old yarn.
- Add the new color by pulling through the new yarn on the last pull-through of the stitch.
- Tighten and proceed with the new color.
Final Tips
- Use the stitch marker diligently to avoid counting every row.
- The shawl will increase by 2 stitches every odd row and by 4 stitches every even row.
