Now that winter is almost over, I'm on the last leg of my quilted comfort shawl.
This pattern was not without a number of typographical errors, which I'm surprised have not been corrected yet. Therefore, it's hard to trust the written instructions.
I'm at the point of slashing the front to make the triangle cut out. This will open the front and make the neckline. To me, the diagram looks like a gusset which should have a seam allowance at the top point. Directions say to make a mark at the 16th strip from the bottom. Two lines later, it says to mark the 15th strip from the bottom. The diagram shows that there is an extension of this mark on each side and yet I don't know how much to extend it. It looks like maybe an inch or less? I'm talking about at the top, not the bottom marks which are 2" on each side of center.
How much on each side of the top marking dot do I extend the line to each side? This is for the neckline so I don't want to cut anything until I've got this straight. I wish I was better at explaining, but maybe a pic will help. Scroll down to the section with triangle diagram. The diagram looks right to me, but the instructions seem off.
