Joker
Why is this shawl called „Joker“ (wild card)? Because I staked everything on one card, when I created
this pattern in one single week ;).

General hints:
1. Repeat instructions between parentheses the number of times specified. This is the
instruction of one set of stitches to repeat.
2. Pay attention to the commas! They will give you a better understanding of the pattern.
3. The number given at the end of some rows is the stitch count for that row. Chains do not
count as stitches!
4. The turning chains at the beginning of any row do not count as a st and you do not work into
them in the next row.

Why Blocking? Because the special shape of „Joker“ will show much better after blocking. ;)
