[/caption]Since the Midsummer's Night Shawl pattern is new and unfamiliar to me I'm finding that I have a repetitive question about following the diagram in specific spots throughout the pattern.

[/caption]My main question is what to do when I get to the large blank areas where no chain stitches or connections are referenced. I'm still a newbie when it comes to following stitch diagrams, and this is the first time I've encountered this type of spacing between stitches. I'm guessing that I just need to allow a bit of looseness in my yarn in order to reach the spot where the next stitch needs to be placed.
If anyone is familiar with this type of spacing in a stitch diagram please let me know if I'm understanding the pattern properly. I've tried Googling the Internet for more details but I haven't found where anyone discusses this specific topic. When I reference all of the original pattern pictures shown on Ravelry I can't get a close enough look to see what the seemingly disconnected areas of the pattern look like on the shawl.
The way my stitches are looking to me right now I may have to rip back and leave a bit more distance between the cluster stitches in some areas, but I'm going to keep progressing until I can get a better idea of how the scarf will block out.
