Note
You work half of the body while increasing at the left side of the fabric, and then knit the remaining half while decreasing at the left side.
Because you can adjust the size as you like, if you weigh your yarn before starting, you can use up the yarn almost all.
Since the increase/decrease angle differs slightly between the Shawl version and the Scarf version, you can choose the shape you prefer.

Note
編み地の左側で増目しながら本体の半分を編み, 同様に編み地の左側で
減目しながら残りの半分を編む.
お好みで大きさを調整できるため, 編み始める前に糸のグラム数を測っておけば毛糸をちょうど使い切ることが可能です。Shawl Ver.とScarf Ver. では増減目の角度が少し異なっているため, 好みの形を選ぶと良い.
