STITCH EXPLANATION:
Yo (yarn over)
An increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric, worked as follows:
Bring yarn to front, between the needles.
Take yarn to back, over the righthand needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to proceed with the next st as instructed.

NOTES:
Shawl is worked in one piece, back and forth in rows, from center back neck downwards.
Increases are worked to shape the Shawl.
A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth in rows on the circular needle as if working on straight needles.
