Notes

Lovely pattern,grows quickly, well written and neatly charted.
My gauge was smaller than the original, so I made additional rows. Adding rows was easy to do: Pattern is charted until row 25. For the side corner increasings I went back to row 8 of chart, using this row as row 26, row 9 as row 27 … and so on. For the apex increases I went back to row 6, taking this as row 26, row 7 as row 27 …

Chevron edging: ended with an openwork row and worked 1 row of sc in the same way as the odd rows, making 2 chain stitches in the apexes of chevrons instead of 1 ch.

Made a modification at the neck edge: Slip stitched along the neck edge by doing the stitches directely in the chain stitches of turning chains and in the heads and bodies of row end dc. This made also a tight and strong edging to block along, but less eye-catching since I had made the shawl in 3 colours.

Thanks so much Lara for giving this great pattern for free.
