NOTES

• Directions are for shawlette size; changes for shawl size are in parentheses. When only one number is given then that number applies to all sizes.
• Not every row turns at the end of the row.  Be sure to watch in the pattern when it tells you to turn and when not to turn.  
• The shawl decreases on only one edge to create a triangle.  The other edge will be straight with a 90 degree angle in the corner.
