Instructions for knitting:

Now start working in the Lace Grid stitch pattern. Knit rows 1 to 12 of the pattern 39 / 37 / 32 times. Then knit rows 1 to 5 one more time, ending with a right side row (row 5 is a RS row).
Knit 4 rows
Loosely bind off all stitches knitwise (you will be binding off on a WS row).
Wet block the shawl to desired measurements. Weave in ends.
