Notes
1. Lower edging of shawl is worked first. Lower edging is worked in two halves forming a V-shape. Motif 1 forms the lower center point of the lower edging. The next motif is worked over a portion
of the stitches of the last round of Motif 1. Subsequent motifs are worked directly onto the outer edge of the previous motif until a strip of motifs has been made (for the first half of the lower edging and first tie). Another motif is then worked over a portion of the remaining stitches of the last round of Motif 1 and subsequent motifs are worked to complete the second half of the lower edging and second tie. The last 13 motifs of each half of the lower edging form the ties.
2. Stitches are worked across the long inner edge of the lower edging and the shawl is worked up to the neck. Decreases are worked in each row to shape the piece.
3. All pieces are crocheted onto existing pieces as you go, for a seamless project.
