Six repeats.

Using ChiaGoo spin with this thread. The KnitPicks wood weren’t pointy enough. Changed to a 3.5mm Addi Turbo Lace needle at around row 55. The thread kept getting smaller while on the ChiaGoo cable, resulting in them getting caught at the needle join. It was difficult to push them up over the hump and I was concerned about the thread breaking.

CO 16 (10 edge stitches and six repeats)

I followed the notes of mqrussell, JennyWillknitt & LauraLovesJazz’s projects.

Since every other row is knit, the wrong side is purled.

I slipped the first stitch of each row.

I used a border of k2, k2tog, yo, k1 on the beginning of right side rows and k1, yo, ssk, k2 at the end. I knit the edge stitches on the reverse side so they are garter stitch.

For the return row on the “delayed double yarnovers”, slip and drop the double YO so it is a single stitch, then do the return row YO.

For me, the most difficult row was the m9 row. The trick to get the two stitch YO to drop (so it is ready for the m9) is to properly knit and drop off the needle the stitch just before it.

Because I’m working flat, that changes the one stitch move on Row 139. It seems to work best if I knit the first two together, then made one stitch at the end.

Shaded area on Chart 4. This is ONLY for when you are working a flat shawl. This is how that section should be read: 5 edge stitches, shaded chart from left to right, then white and shaded parts as shown. Adding the shaded chart in reverse at the beginning balances out the right and left sides of the shawl. Apparently, this section was added in order to get the shawl to lie flat.

I bound off according to the directions and with a 3.75mm needle, but it was still too tight. I’m sure that’s because the yarn has no stretch to it at all.

The last photo shows how thin this yarn is. The yarn is on the left. On the right is my sewing machine thread.

Errata:
Row 223 - The last stitch in the white section should be a k1 instead of ssk. The second stitch in the shaded section should be a ssk.

Row 235 - There is one too many stitches in the shaded area, but since it’s the last pattern row I just left it. The ssk in the white section should be a k1.
