Notes :
This is a large triangle shawl with a 1 st center spine and 3 garter edge sts on both sides.
4 inc. are made on every RS row. Each row begins and ends with 3 garter edge sts = knit
on RS and WS. The center/middle st is indicated as M. Always knit this stitch on RS and
purl on WS.
You can change the size of the shawl by adding or omitting stitch pattern 1 repeat(s). Be
aware that before starting the border the number of sts between edge sts and M stitch
should be a multiple of 18 + 1.
