Lace Grid Stitch Pattern

(The square brackets contain repeatable sets of stitches)
Rows 1, 3 and 5 (RS) – K6, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk; [k2, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk] to the last 6 sts; k6

Instructions for knitting:

CO 101 (Large) / 73 (Medium) / 59 (Small) sts loosely, using the long-tail method.
Knit 4 rows
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.
