Garter stitch: purl all rows.

About the charts:
- The chart key explains the symbols used
- Even-numbered rows are purled
- The shawl has 4 garter border stitches and 1 knit stitch at the center; these aren’t included in the charts.
- In the charts, the red numbers at the right show the number of stitches of each triangle; in brackets, the total stitch count at the end of the row (including the central stitch and the border stitches).

Cast on 9 st, leaving a long tail (8-10 inches) to sew them afterwards.

Row 1: p4, yo, k1, yo, p4 (total = 11 st)
Row 2 (and all the even-numbered rows): purl

From the 3rd row onwards, you’ll be making 4 garter stitches, then follow the chart, k1, repeat the chart, 4 garter stitches.

If you haven’t worked from charts, read the rows below and compare them with the first charted rows to learn to read the symbols:

Row 3: p4, *yo, k1, yo*, k1, repeat from * to * once more, p4 (that is: p4, make the first row from the chart, k1, repeat the first row from the chart, p4) (total stitch count: 15 st)

Row 5: p4, *yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo*, k1, repeat from * to * once more, p4 (that is: p4, make the second row from the chart, k1, repeat the second row from the chart, p4) (total stitch count: 23 st)

Row 7: p4, *yo, p1, k2, yo, k1, yo, k2, p1, yo*, k1, repeat from * to * once more, p4 (that is: p4, make the third row from the chart, k1, repeat the third row from the chart, p4) (total stitch count: 31 st)

Row 9: p4, *yo, p2, k3, yo, k1, yo, k3, p2, yo*, k1, repeat from * to * once more, p4 (that is: p4, make the 4th row from the chart, k1, repeat the 4th row from the chart, p4) (total stitch count: 39 st)

Row 11: p4, *yo, p3, k4, yo, k1, yo, k4, p3, yo*, k1, repeat from * to * once more, p4 (that is: p4, make the 5th row from the chart, k1, repeat the 5th row from the chart, p4) (total stitch count: 47 st)

Keep working all the odd-numbered rows this way: p4, follow the chart once, k1, follow the chart once more, p4; turn the work.

Purl all the even-numbered rows.

At the end of the 32th row, each triangle has 29 stitches; the total stitch count is 67 stitches.
