Instructions

Shawl body

Cast on 9 sts. Row 1 (RS): k1, yo, k7, yo, k1 Row 2 (WS): k2, yo, p7, yo, k2 (Please note! To avoid unsightly holes along the selvedge, yarn overs from the previous row are to be worked through the back loop.) Row 3 (RS): k2 (selvedge sts),“3 from 1”" into the yo, k7, “3 from 1”" into the yarn over, k2 (= selvedge sts). (Please note! “3 from 1"' is worked as [ktbl, yo, ktbl].) Row 4 (WS): k2 (selvedge sts), yo, p to last 2 sts, yo, k2 (selvedge sts) Repeat rows 3 and 4 until you have 259 sts (not counting selvedge) in a WS row. This WS row will look as follows: k2 (selvedge sts), yo, p259, yo, k2 (selvedge sts). One pattern repeat has 20 sts, making for 13 pattern repeats width-wise. (For symmetry, the last pattern repeat will have only 19 sts). A greater or smaller number of pattern repeats may be worked to achieve a larger or smaller shawl. Work the following RS row as shown in Chart 1.

Don't forget!

At the beginning of every RS row, after the 2 selv sts, work [ktbl, yo, ktbl] into the yarn over from the previous row. At the end of every RS row, after all pattern repeats acc. to chart, before the last 2 (=selv) sts: "3 from 1"' worked as [ktbl, yo, ktbl], then yo, k2 (selvedge sts). At the beginning of every WS row, after the 2 selv sts, make a yo. itil the edge starts. For increases within edge pattern, please refer to edge char
