With size 13 needles cast on 57, 63 or 69 stitches.
Row 1: Knit 3, purl 3, to last three stitches, knit 3
Row 2: Purl 3, knit 3, to last three stitches, purl 3
Row 3: Knit 3, purl 3, to last three stitches, knit 3
Row 4: Knit 3, purl 3, to last three stitches, knit 3
Row 5: Purl 3, knit 3, to last three stitches, purl 3
Row 6: Knit 3, purl 3, to last three stitches, knit 3
Repeat these 6 rows until desired length is achieved. The result is squares
which are three stitches wide and three rows deep, and it is a very attractive
pattern.
When beginning a row with knit 3, slip the first stitch purlwise. The yarn will
be in front of your work. Carry the yarn to the back between the first and
second stitch, knit 2, and continue with the pattern to the end of the row.
When beginning a row with purl 3, slip into the back of the first stitch. The
yarn will be in front of your work. Carry the yarn behind the stitch to the
back, then bring it to the front in between the first and second stitch, then
purl 2 and continue with the pattern to the end of the row.
To complete the shawl I apply Victoria Galo's tassels to each end, through the
side edge stitch and in every third stitch in between.
