GAUGE:

6 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. A large hook is used to create a lacy effect.
2. Shawl is worked in one piece, beg at lower point.
3. Increases are worked in every row to shape Shawl.
