Confcall Safe Lace Shawl
========================

Materials
---------

Yarn
^^^^

The classic choice for this would of course be lace-weight or fingering
yarn, but sport or DK weight worked with bulky needles may also be fun.

Needles
^^^^^^^

A pair of long straight needles or a circular, in a size significantly
bigger than the yarn.

Directions
----------

The shawl is worked from the bottom up, with a garter stitch border 3
:term:`sts` wide and rows of :term:`yo`/:term:`k2t` lace in between.

Long tail cast on 3 :term:`sts` and start working the point of the
border:

row 1 (:term:`ws`):
    :term:`k` 3;
row 2 (:term:`rs`):
    :term:`k` 1, :term:`m1r`, :term:`k` 1, :term:`m1l`, :term:`k` 1;
row 3:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
row 4:
    :term:`k` 1, :term:`m1r`, :term:`k` 3, :term:`m1l`, :term:`k` 1;
row 5:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;

You now have 7 :term:`sts`: place a marker before the center stitch and
start working the lace part:

row 6:
    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, (marker), :term:`k` 1, :term:`yo`,
    :term:`k` 3;
row 7:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
row 8:
    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 1 (marker), :term:`k` 2,
    :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
row 9:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
row 10:
    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 1,
    :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
row 11:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
row 12:
    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 1
    :term:`k` 2, :term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
row 13:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
    
and then repeat the following lines until the shawl is as long as
you'd like, or until you're low on yarn:

row 4n - 2:
    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, [:term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`] until the marker,
    :term:`k` 1, [:term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`] until 3 :term:`sts` remain on
    the needle, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
row 4n - 1:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;
row 4n:
    :term:`k` 3, :term:`yo`, [:term:`k2t`, :term:`yo`] until one
    :term:`st` before the marker, :term:`k` 3, [:term:`yo`, :term:`k2t`]
    until 3 :term:`sts` remain on the needle, :term:`yo`, :term:`k` 3;
row 4n + 1:
    :term:`k` all :term:`sts`;

finally, add 5 lines of  garter stitch border to the top of the shawl:
