I'm somewhat of a "newbie", and I love the way you explain a stitch I have wanted to learn for a long time. My question is; how do decrease the number of scales on a row, so you could eventually work a square?

[bobwilson123]

@sesteadman I dont know how to make a decrease but I know that tjw1963 has a video for the square shape :)

[bobwilson123]

@Crystalizeh2o Hi there I am un sure but i would say alot as it is a yarn pig pattern. I only made the sample and not the while shawl

No offense to your color coordinated nails....but they got in the way of seeing what you were doing.....just an fyi...thanks for posting this though. Saved me from buying the pattern!
