You will be knitting one triangle at a time, and each new triangle will be joined to the previous alone one edge as you knit the new one. For example, at the end of the first triangle, the pattern says you will have 40 stitches on your needle. But for the next triangle, you will not knit across those 40 stitches, just leave them on your needle. Then you'll start off small in the point of the new triangle, and as you proceed, you will join the new one to the previous triangle one row at a time, by doing SSK when the pattern tells you to. This will make a lot more sense when you actually do it - it's actually very cool and fun to knit. If you're feeling a little nervous about this section, keep in mind that you're knitting this as a separate piece that you join to your shawl later, so if you aren't pleased with how it looks after 2-3 triangles, just rip it out and try again! Hope that helps! Sue Hi, Alice – I recall finding the instructions for Block 16 to be a bit confusing too.

Instructions for block 16, the one with the triangles, is not clear to me. Does each triangle lead into the next one or are they knitted separately? this may make more sense to me as I knit it but right now I'm wondering how this will work. Any help would be appreciated. TIA. I’m knitting this pattern and enjoying it but I am puzzled about one of the blocks and wonder if you are willing to try to help me.

I love it. That is really pretty- thanks for pointing me to that pattern – I’m not exactly a traditional shawl person & this is just beautiful & different. I love it.
