As I mentioned, I am knitting this from the top down. Faroese shawls have an extra bit of shaping on the shoulders to ensure that they stay in place when being worn. I achieved this extra oomph of shawl by extra increases on the first however many rows it was.

For my next trick, I might doodle up a Faroese shawl from the bottom up. And in a heavier yarn.
