NOTES

• Gauge is not critical in this project. Lace crochet easily can grow depending on how you make your chains.  If your project measures larger, it will still be a beautiful project.  If Play 1 is between 30-36” at the base, and 16-19” in height the final shawl will be great!
• Project is worked on its longest side first and each row will shorten after creating a triangle. 
• Optional:  If you do not want to start your project with foundation sc, you can chain instead.
