Frost Shawl Knitting Pattern: Customizable Size with Lace Edging Instructions and Charts

Frost Shawl

I had earlier knit Frost Flowers top to my friend and she wanted a shawl to wear with it, so I designed this shawl. You can use yarn and needle size you want to. Bigger needle size and thicker yarn means a bigger shawl and vice versa. The white shawl above is knit of 7 balls (about 700 meters) of Zettl Cotton-Classic Cable yarn using 4,5 mm needles and it is 95 cm high and 190 cm wide.

Instructions

Cast on 3 stitches and continue as follows: Row 1: knit Row 2: (k1, k1b) in one stitch, (k1, klb) in one stitch, k1 (there are now 5 stitches on the needle) Row 3:knit Continue from chart 1 and always knit 2 edge stitches at the beginning and at the end of all rows and purl all wrong side (even) rows between these edge stitches unless otherwise stated. After row 24 repeat rows 15 - 24 (there are just more sts between edge sts and middle st) till there are 144 rows from the beginning of the chart 1. There should be 291 stitches (2 edge sts + 143 sts + middle st + 143 sts + 2 edge sts). Work lace edging from chart 2a and chart 2b. Note! Chart 2a and 2b have all rows charted and even rows goes from left to right. After row 28 continue following lace edging 2 from chart 3. Purl sts between edge sts on rows 2 and 4.
