These charts are a little

different to your regular

diagrams as they actually

only show half of your

row. Read all rows from

right to left regardless of

whether they are right side

or wrong side rows. When

you get to the centre stitch

(marked C on the chart),

work this in stocking stitch

then work back along

the same chart row in

reverse. This will ensure

the pattern is symmetrical

on your finished shawl.
