Armhole and shawl collar shaping
by Linda
(Cape Cod, MA)
Hi--Can you please confirm if I have interpreted the following paragraph for shaping correctly? I'm new at this and find I need to type out each row see below for it to make sense! I mostly need to know-- do I begin my increasing in row 6 as I've interpreted? This is just the left side -- I will need to reverse it for the right side-- that will come next! Thank you!!
LEFT FRONT :Cast on 30 stitches, work even until piece measures 15½in. /39.5cm from beg, end with a WS row.
