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 3 is between 14-16” in width the final shawl will be great!
- Project is continued on the last row of Play 2 still working on the bias. You will increase at the beginning of the RS rows and decrease at the end of the WS rows, which will not change your stitch count.
