BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

Notes
1. Shawl is worked, in a modular fashion, from rows of Rectangles. The first row consists of one
Rectangle, the second row consists of two Rectangles, the third row consists of three Rectangles and so on. Refer to Assembly Diagram for placement of Rectangles.
2. Each Rectangle is made with two miters (angles) formed by working decreases on every other row.
3. Change colors randomly as desired. To change color, cut the old color leaving an 8 in. (20.5 cm) tail then begin working with the new color leaving a beginning tail. You may knot the old and new yarn tails together, if desired. When you have finished knitting, unknot the yarn tails and weave them in.

This is a gorgeous shawl. I love mitered knitting and it seems the key here is to be sure to pick up stitches evenly. I can't wait to try this pattern.

. Si cela vous prend moins de points et de lignes en fonction de la jauge, essayez d'utiliser les aiguilles de taille; si plus de points et de lignes, essayez les aiguilles de taille.
