About The Designer

Corinne's passion for yarn started around age 8 when she started to knit. Today, she especially loves to design with sock yarn. Although French, she lives in Germany with her English partner and their two boys, where she can fully put her second passion, languages, to the test. Her patterns can be found on Ravelry on the Corinne's Knits designer page or on her blog: corinnesknits.wordpress.com. For pattern support, email: corinnesknits@googlemail.com.

Notes

Ederra can easily be made into a full length shawl if you wish. Just increase the length of the starting section and the stripy section accordingly (keeping the same proportions). But, remember that the given yardage is for the pattern as written. The list of abbreviations is available on page 13.

Stitch Pattern

There are three sections in the pattern, each in a different stitch. The first is knit in granite relief stitch, the second in stripy garter stitch and the last in ridged eyelet stitch.

Yarn

Colour A: 410m/448yards Colour B: 185m/202yards of sock yarn Shown in Knit Picks Stroll Tonal, colour ways Golden Glow (A) and Queen Anne (B)

Notions

Needles

4.0mm/US6 circular needle or size needles needed to obtain gauge Accessories 1 darning needle 1 stitch marker Necessary Skills YO, K2tog Gauge 20 sts x 40 rows / 10 cm - 4" in garter stitch Sizes One size fits all 167cm wide x 70cm tall 66" wide x 28" tall

Notes

This is a simple design knit in garter stitch with a very simple lace pattern, ideal for new knitters. You can easily make it smaller or lager by doing more or less lace sections but remember that the given yardage is for the pattern as written here.

Stitch Pattern

The shawl is knit in two-colour garter stitch, the lace sections are made using YO and K2tog. It is finished with a simple picot edging.

Set up / Garter tab cast on (See photo tutorial on page 3)

With colour A, cast on 3 sts and K 6 rows. PU 3 sts from the long edge of the garter st and an additional 3 sts from the cast on edge. You should have a total of 9 sts.. K1row

Note on colour changing:

When changing colours in the stripy section, I just drop one colour and take the other one, as there are only two rows, nothing more is necessary. When knitting the lace sections, I make colour B "follow" up every other row (beginning of RS). 1 interlock the colours together by simply "hooking" colour B around colour A before knitting the first stitch of the row.

Stripy section

Row 1 (RS): Switch to colour B - K3, YO, K1, YO, K1, YO, PM, K1, YO, K3 Row 2: K to end, slipping M as you encounter it Row 3: Switch to colour A - K3, YO, Kto 1 st before M, YO, K1, YO, SM, K to last 3 sts, YO, K3 Row 4: K to end, slipping M as you encounter it Row 5: Switch to colour B - K3, YO, K to 1 st before M, YO, K1, YO, SM, K to last 3 sts, YO, K3 Row 6: K to end, slipping M as you encounter it Rows 7-14: Repeat rows 3-6 another two times.

Lace repeat

Row 15: Switch to colour A - K3, YO, K to 1 st before M, YO, K1, YO, SM, K to last 3 sts, YO, K3 Row 16: K to end, slipping M as you encounter it Row 17: K3, YO, \*K2tog, YO\* repeat to 2 sts before M, K1, YO, K1, YO, SM, \*K2tog, YO\* to last 4 sts, K1, YO, K3 Row 18: K to end, slipping M as you encounter it

Repeat rows 1-18 another time, replacing the original row 1 with this one: Row 1: Switch to colour B - K3, YO, K to 1 st before M, YO, K1, YO, SM, K to last 3 sts, YO, K3 From this point, always use this new row 1! The pattern continues in the same manner, alternating stripy sections and lace sections. Up to this point, you have knit 1 stripy section, 1 lace repeat, 1 stripy section, 1 lace repeat. The 2 next lace sections will be made of 2 lace repeats, the following 2 of 3 lace repeats and the last one before the edging of 4 lace repeats. So, the pattern goes: 1 Stripy section - 1 Lace section of 1 repeat 1 Stripy section - 1 Lace section of 1 repeat 1 Stripy section - 1 Lace section of 2 repeats 1 Stripy section - 1 Lace section of 2 repeats 1 Stripy section - 1 Lace section of 3 repeats 1 Stripy section - 1 Lace section of 3 repeats 1 Stripy section - 1 Lace section of 4 repeats Edging

Edging

The edging is done in colour A \*Cast on 2 sts using cable cast on1. Then bind off 4 sts using the standard method2. Slip the single st on the right hand needle back onto the left hand needle.\* Rep to end of row.

Agate Capelet

Description

This capelet is made out of two different colourways of sock yarn. I designed it specifically with the Zauberball in mind, but any sock yarn with long colour repeats will have the same effect. Of course, you can also use two plain colours. It is named after the stone agate. A geologist pointed out to me that it looked like an agate, so Agate it had to be. Difficulty Easy

Yarn

Size S/M: 245m/265yards of colour A & 220m/240yards of colour B Size L/XL: 260m/290yards of colour A & 245m/270yards of colour B of 4 ply sock yarn Shown in Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball, colourways Brombeeren & Schokocreme

Notes

For the M1, here is a good tutorial: http://fibernacci.blogspot.com/2008/12/m1-tutorial.html. I recommend using the second method.

Stitch Pattern

The body of the capelet is knit in garter st, every row is K. The last st of every row is slipped for a better finish on the border. The edging stitch is described in the directions and charted (on page 13).

Body

Sl M along the way Repeat rows 4 & 5 another 35(37) times, alternating colours every two rows, i.e. switching colour before repeating row 4. You should have 388(432) sts total; 56(63) - 81(89) - 113(127) - 81(89) - 57(64) sts in each section

At the same time, at 1.5cm/0.6" from the cast on edge, on a RS row: K5, cast off 3 sts, continue as row 4. On the next row, K to the cast off sts, cast on 3 sts, K to last st,SI stpw When you have 388[432) sts, repeat row 4, adding an extra st by doing an M1 somewhere in the middle of the work. You should then have 397(441) sts Next row: K to last st, Sl st pw.

Cast off row: repeat row 1, working the increases and decreases as written. Cast off loosely! (if you are a tight knitter, it might be useful to use bigger needles to cast off) Break yarn. With darning needle, weave yarn through last st, pull and weave in. Block capelet.
