Your piece may block larger or smaller depending upon needle and yarn choice and your personal style of knitting. Gauge No gauge is given for this piece as lace gauge is personal preference. I would recommend swatching with different size needles using one to two repeats of the central pattern blocking as you will for the final shawl to determine what you would like to use. Pattern Notes The charts are charted up to the center stitch. In the border and main chart this is shown by seperating the edge stitches and central stitch with a thick red line. You will knit the chart right to left to the center stitch knit the center stitch then knit the chart once more ending with two edge stitches in place of the center stitch. For row by row instructions you will knit from to work the center stitch and then repeat to again. Instructions in are the crow pattern.
