Shawl Body
Start the shawl body with Chart A, which shows all rows and stitches. Work Charts B, C, D and E in that order.
About The Remaining Charts
· The garter stitch border is not shown; start and end all rows with knit 2. · Work the sections in each chart in the following order: 1, 2, 3, Spine Chart, 1, 2, 3. · Section 2 (Main Pattern in written form) in Chart C is repeated 3 times each half, 5 times in D and 7 in E. Place new markers as needed between the 11-stitch sections. · Stitch counts are shown in italics on the right side of the charts and in parentheses in the written instructions.
Charts B, C and D
· These charts show the right side rows only for one half of the shawl body. Except for row 30, knit the knits and purl the purls & yarn overs as they appear between the border and spine on WS rows.
Chart E
· Much of this chart is garter stitch. RS rows are charted and WS rows are written out. Note that the final 4 rows of the Spine have a different stitch pattern. · The chart ends with RS row 93.
Spine Chart
· The Spine Chart shows both right and wrong side rows. Its row numbers correspond to the row numbers in the body.
Bind off
This bind off on the WS adds an extra stitch between the existing stitches to create a very stretchy edge that will let you block the shawl fully. It also uses up yarn at a ferocious rate so allow 16 yards. Note: To reduce fullness, the extra stitch is not added along the spine. Begin by purling 1 stitch. Step 1: \*Insert left needle into back of st on right needle and p1, return this st to left needle and p2tog; repeat from \* to first spine marker. urn st from right needle to left and p2tog; repeat from \*\* 6 times to next spine marke Step 3: Repeat Step 1 from \* to end of shawl. Fasten ends and block.
