PATTERN NOTES
Wrap begins at the top edge. The Garter Stitch border is worked at the same time as stitches are cast on for the full width of the shawl, resulting in a border which is perpendicular to the main body of the shawl. The stockinette portion of the shawl is shaped with short rows for a slightly curved wrap. Both charted and row-by-row directions are given for the Lacy Windmill Stitch.
Note that for the chart, odd numbered (RS) rows are read from right to left, and even numbered (WS) rows are read from left to right. All rows are charted.

MORE INFO
Skills Needed: cast on, knit, purl, lace, cables.

    in one of your patterns “Just Enough Ruffles”, you note in directions “wrap and turn”. I have never seen that direction before… what does one do? thanks for your advice. Diana
