    Repeat these 24 rows to first m. Remove m . Follow pattern (right and wrong side rows) with center st. Remove m. Continue in pattern repeating rows 1 – 24 til 3 sts remain on left needle. Do one more RS row. On WS : sl 1, k all sts, turn. (RS) : k to last 3 sts, k2tog, turn. (WS) : sl 1, k all sts, turn. (RS) : k to last 2sts, k2tog, turn. BO loosely all remaining sts. Weave in ends and block to measurements. For a smaller shawl: use you gauge swatch to decide how many re- peats of the main body you wish to make (the border is about 4in wide). Take the number of stitches you have after the main body and divide it by 24. You now know how many repeats of lace you will have. Take the number of repeats x 24. Subtract that number from the main body stitches, then divide that number by 2. This is the number of garter stitch rows you will need at the begin- ning and end for everything to work out evenly.
