NOTES:
Shawl is worked in one piece, back and forth in rows, from one side point across to opposite side edge.
Increases are worked at the beginning of RS rows and the end of WS rows to shape the Shawl. The increase edge forms lower edge of Shawl.
Yarn color is changed to form stripes. To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Fasten off old color. Proceed with new color.
