Cutting Ferns is worked from the center of the wingspan outward and down. Increases placed on every row form the shawl’s shallow triangular shape. Hex fern lace patterning is worked on right side rows only. Repeats are long, however, the stitches all “make sense” and as you go forward you may need to only glance at the pattern.
