Resizing Multnomah
There are two ways to make your Multnomah the perfect size for you:
1. These are by far the easiest ways to resize Multnomah: to make the shawl larger, keep knitting rows 1 – 10 of the feather and fan section until desired size. Or, if you have less yarn than the pattern calls for but don’t want to decrease the garter stitch section, knit the feather and fan pattern until you run out of yarn.
2. Each feather and fan repeat takes 18 sts, so if you want to decrease or increase the size of the garter stitch section it’s easy to figure out how many stitches you’ll need: just add or subtract 36 stitches for each size up or down. But to make it simple for you I’ll do the math:
Extra small: Knit garter stitch section to 157 sts, then start feather and fan border.
Small: Knit garter stitch section to 193 sts, then start feather and fan border.
Large: Knit garter stitch section to 265 sts, then start feather and fan border.
Extra large: Knit garter stitch section to 301 sts, then start feather and fan border.
Really big: Knit garter stitch section to 337 sts, then start feather and fan border.
Super huge: Knit garter stitch section to 373 sts, then start feather and fan border.

Thank you SO MUCH for doing the math. My brain was starting to fritz as I realized I had expanded my Multnomah’s garter stitch section to the point where had no idea how to now start the feather and fan!
I’ve been meaning to thank you for this pattern, and now for the maths too, for some time. I spin my sheeps fleece and dye the yarn and I’ve used Multnomah to knit two shawl – one small and one medium. This si a great pattern to show off variagated yarn. I love it. Thanks. Catherine
. Thanks again
PS Intend to put pics of the shawls on my blog. Now I’ve written that, I have to do it
