Shawl is crocheted with RS facing
throughout. Increases are made in the first
stitch on every row by working Tunisian
simple stitch in the first vertical bar (which
is normally missed).
Take care not to miss the first stitch after
the increase stitch, as this tends to hide
under the increase stitch.
