garden view shawlette - pretty...

Supplies: *Debbie Bliss Donegal Luxury Tweed Aran, 235 yards (sample used 200yds), or yarn of comparable weight & gauge*size 8 (5 mm) needles*stitch marker(s)

Gauge: 18 sts:4” (stockinette, size 8 needles)

Design:The shawl is made up of four basic elements separated by rows of eyelets: an upper border, stockinette body, garter leaf border, and lower slipped stitched border. Knitting starts at left side & by increasing, knitting ʻstraightʼ and decreasing along the eyelet row between body and garter leaf border, a crescent shape is formed.

Finished Size: SMALL 12.5”h x 52”w

Tips:For neat edges slip first stitch purl-wise with yarn in front (sl1p wyif), return yarn to the back of the work and proceed in pattern.

To help follow written instructions place a marker between the garter leaf border and the eyelet row that separates it from the body.

Glossary and symbol key are provided on page 6. Pattern includes instructions in written and charted format.

The right side of the shawl is represented by odd-numbered rows.

[After rows 1-34 are finished you will have completed one repeat of the garter leaf pattern and started the left sided tip of the stockinette crescent that makes up the body of the shawlette. You should now have 25 stitches.]

Repeat rows 1-34 once more. When finished you will have two garter leaves and the stockinette body of the shawlette will have increased in width & height. You should now have 42 stitches.



Repeat rows 1-34 three times more with the following adjustment to all right side rows; after stitch marker work yarn over, k2tog then proceed in pattern to end of row. This ensures no further increases to the body of the shawl. You should have 42 stitches after this section is completed. You will now have 5 garter leaves and note that the stockinette body has been extended width-wise with no further increase to its height.

Repeat rows 1-34 two more times with the following adjustment on right side; after stitch marker work yarn over, k3tog then proceed in pattern to end of row. These decreases work to shape right tip of the crescent. You should have 8 stitches after this section is complete with 7 garter leaves and a crescent-shaped shawlette body.

Work 2 rows in garter stitch before binding off. Sew in ends. Wet blocking is essential to achieve stated dimensions and create a suitable drape for this shawlette.

Charts

The colour-coding is to help visualize the different shawl elements and see how they develop over the rows. Work according to the symbol within the square regardless of its colour.



Chart B - Work once = 42 stitches

**Note: the blue square means continue working in whatever stitch is featured within it until next design element is encountered.

Chart C - Work 3 times = 42 Stitches



Chart D - Work twice = 25 stitches after 1st repeat & 8 stitches after 2nd repeat.

Work garter for 2 rows. Bind off
