- We turn the future shawl. We make five loops again and turn;
- Let's make a new row. Knit two, yarn over, knit one, yarn over, knit two;
- Seven more loops and you need to turn the product over;
- Let's move on to the next row. It will include two edge loops, three purl loops, and again two edge loops. Turn the knitting over;
- We start the new row with two edge yarn overs. Then three times one loop and yarn over alternately. Again, edge loops - two pieces. We finish with eleven loops.

Common mistakes when knitting a shawl
In knitting, the first sign of an error is that the pattern does not match the pattern. In this case, do not despair. The most common problems are:
- Lack of stitches in a row. A crochet hook will help you cope with adding elements. It is important to track the direction of the thread and secure the new part with a hook. This is an actual solution if there are a shortage of three or two rows. If more is knitted, the product must be unraveled.
- The row length is longer. To correct, go to the wrong side and redistribute the excess threads. Then you need to dissolve the excess and crochet the adjacent loops.
- The number of loops exceeds that indicated in the diagram. We crochet a couple of elements to reduce the total number of loops in the line.
- One loop is knitted at the beginning and end of the row. It should be disbanded.The reason may be that the starting and ending loops are not tightened enough. The thread accidentally gets tangled or twisted. There is not always a need to correct an error. After unraveling the loop, the edge of the product will become much more spacious.
