8. Continue the Pattern: Continue in this pattern, increasing 4 stitches every right-side row. To do this, work a yarn over after the first stitch and before the last stitch, and also before and after the center stitch. Maintain the moss stitch pattern throughout.
9. Repeat Rows 5 and 6: Keep repeating Rows 5 and 6 until your shawl measures approximately 60 inches across the top edge or your desired size.
10. Bind Off: Once you reach your desired size, bind off loosely in pattern to maintain the elasticity of the stitches.
