Continue knitting pattern until you have 367 stitches on your needle (60 pattern repeats), or to desired height. End on a WS row and knit 2 rows with no increases (no yarnovers) to maintain stitch count. While knitting these 2 rows, you can remove the first and last stitch markers. It may, however, be helpful to leave the middle stitch markers in place for the first few rows of edging to check that you haven’t missed a stitch and the design is centered on your shawl.

Start textured edging in your choice of color.

Textured Edging

Row 1 (RS): K6, * p1, k5,* repeat from * to * until last st, k1.

Row 2 (WS): K1, *p5, k1* repeat from * to * until the end of row.

Row 3: K1, *yo, ssk, p1, k2tog, yo, k1,* repeat from * to * until the end of row.

Row 4: K1, p2, *k1, p5,* repeat from * to * until 4 last sts, then k1, p2, k1.

Row 5: K3, *p1, k5,* repeat from * to * to last 4 sts, then p1, k3.

Row 6: K1, p2, *k1, p5,* repeat from * to * until last 4 sts, k1, p2, k1.

Row 7: K1, * k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, p1,* repeat from * to * to last 6 sts, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, k1.

Row 8: K1, *p5, k1, * repeat from * to * to the end.

Repeat rows 1 – 8 of textured edging 3 or 4 times or for desired effect (I did 3 repeats).

For your last repeat of the textured edge, end with Row 3 or 7 (RS), then bind off on WS.

To bind off, start with p2tog, then move the resulting st back on your left needle, and p2tog again. Continue until one st remains. Cut your yarn and pull it through the remaining st. Weave in your ends.
