Temperance Knit Shawl

You will be increasing in the borders (kfb) every row, and decreasing along a center spine every RS row.

To help keep track of where the center decrease is located, we will use a stitch marker that will need to be moved to work the K2tog in the SK2P (you use 2 sts before the marker, and 1 just after) and then replace the marker (rm).

When carrying unused color up side of work in stripe sections, twist with working yarn at the beginning of every RS row by bringing carried yarn from right to left over working yarn, continue with working yarn.
