Foundation for a small shawl worked from the bottom without a point. Begun with 3 multiples of the pattern (+ edge sts), and 2 simple set- up rows. Increases made at edges on Rows 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, with a new multiple inserted with the next pattern rep (resulting in the offset shown in first photo). Gray swatch shows pattern as written.
Shown with a cast-on count of 20 stitches.
