I’m making the On the Wings of a Prayer shawl. However, I am using fingering weight yarn and smaller needles. Without enlarging it, it would be small. Is this possible and if so is the only requirement that I end the pattern with the Stockinette Section prior to working the edge?
Thank you for your prompt response.
