Free Knitting Pattern
This is the final section and you have a big choice to make here. There are a couple of options for finishing the shawl. All are very pretty but one is definitely 'extra'. I've knitted both the largest and smallest versions and they were both worth the effort, although you need to be aware the Eternal Frill will take a VERY long time to complete. It's stunning but does require dedication. I was bingeing all back seasons of Game of Thrones when I knit the eternal frill at full size (there is a half size option). I ran out of episodes before I had finished the frill!

Pattern Notes
Remember to wrap your yarn twice around the needle when creating a YO followed by a purl stitch.
Do not forget to include the final YO before the stitch marker when following the lace patterns and working the middle round for the increase section.
If you are working the striped version all increases are in C2. If you are working in a solid or long gradient ignore the colour change instructions throughout.

Instructions The Eternal Frill
This Eternal Frill, or fluted , to quote its formal name, is worked at a 90° angle to the main body of the shawl. This Eternal Frill lace pattern is double sided, there is no specific right side or wrong side to the pattern. All odd-numbered rows are worked outwards towards the edge of the knitting, while all even-numbered rows and worked towards the main body of the shawl.
You will need to use your stitch marker as reference when joining the lace to the main body of the shawl. The increase section, SECTION 10 - INCREASE, is optional. My sample is created with the increase section before starting the frill. If you are happy with less fullness, skip the increase section and go right into the frill instead. (You will be saving yourself half the work this way too!). If the stitches do not work out perfectly at the end of the border, do not panic. It is really easy to miss count during your 1000+sts and approximately 63 repeats at maximum increase, it is only 32 without the increase.
The beauty of this frill is that you can adjust by adding in additional k2tog at the inner join edge or skipping some in the last repeat to get your stitches to tally up.
SECTION 10 - INCREASE
Change to C2.
Rnd 1: P to end of rnd.
Rnd 2: *K1, yo; rep from * to end of rnd. – 760 sts
Rnd 3: P to end of rnd.

Change to C2.
