Cast on 51y stitches; #You may wish to place markers after the first 5 stitches, on either side of the centre panel of 29, and just before the last 5 stitches. This gives 5 edge stitches, the side panel of 240 stitches, the centre panel of 29 stitches, a second side panel of 240 stitches and the second edge of 5 stitches. #The edge stitches are maintained, and knit on every row unless indicated otherwise. Knit two rows. (one garter stitch ridge) with no decreases. At this point begin the decreases. On every Right side row, decrease immediately inside the first edge, decrease just before the center panel, just after the center panel and just before the last edge. Unless otherwise specified these decreases are worked every right side row. WHICH decreases you use is optional. I am doing a "plain" RS row as edge, skp, panel, k2tog, center, skp, panel, k2tog, edge. Knit 14 more garter ridges, decreasing in pattern each RS row. There should be 212 stitches in each side panel. Next Row: k5 (edge stitches); $\mathrm{skp^{*}(Y O,s k p)}$ repeat until reach marker for center panel - knit one, then (YO, skp )to the three center stitches. O,double decrease,O; (k2tog,YO) until reach last stitch of center panel, knit one.\* (k2tog, YO); repeat until 7 stitches remain, k2tog, k5 #(each side should begin and end with a decrease; if you decrease and there is only a single stitch before the center panel, knit that stitch together with first stitch of the center panel; mirror your action on the opposite side of the center panel. If your stitch count is correct, the first side panel should begin and end with an skp, thus maintaining the decreases. The center panel should remain at 29 stitches, and the second side panel should begin and end with a k2tog. Change to secondary colour. Purl across. This pair of rows is the EYELET CHANGE. Knit 8 additional rows of the secondary colour (4 ridges) ; Change to primary colour and knit two ridges (4 rows). On the third RS row work the EYELET CHANGE. Knit 2 ridges in secondary colour. Lace insertion - RS: edge, skp,(O,skp,) until reach center panel; k1 (k2 if a stitch remains from side panel) (O, skp) x4; O, double decrease, O; (k2tog,O)x4, k1 ( $\mathrm{k}2$ if $\mathrm{k}2$ on the other side); (k2tog,O) until 7 stitches remain, k2tog, k5 IWS.AcRS Repeat this pair of rows a total of 16 times Knit two garter ridges in the secondary colour. Change to primary colour and knit 2 ridges. Perform the EYELET CHANGE. Knit 4 ridges in secondary colour. Revert to primary colour. Knit 18 rows DECREASE ROW - One in Nine: Knit the RS as follows: K5, SKP, k5, \*skp, k7; repeat from \* until 2 stitches before center panel, skp; k5, S2kp, k5, S2kp, k5 s2kp,k5. \*\*k2tog, k7; repeat from \*\* until 7 stitches remain, k2tog, k5 Knit back. Knit 13 more ridges w/ the normal decreases Work a DECREASE ROW as before. Knit back Knit 8 rows, with the standard decreases. Next row: Edge,side as normal; Decrease center gusset by 4 stitches (two on either side) Knit 5 rows, maintaining RS decreases. Next row; Edge,side as normal, Decrease Center Gusset by 4 stitches. Stitch count should now be $5+59+13+59+5$ DECREASE ROW: Edge; skp; $(\mathrm{k4,skp})$ until 2 stitches before center gusset, skp, skp,knit until 2 stitches before side panel, k2tog,k2tog (k4,k2tog) until 7 stitches remain, k2tog, k5. You should have $5+48+11+48+5$ Knit back on the WS. Knit 1O rows, with the standard decreases $=5+43$ ,$+11{+}43{+}5$ Next row: standard decreases plus reduce center gusset by 2 (one on each side) Knit back. $=5+41+9+41+5$ Decrease Row: k5, skp, $^{*}({\bf k}4,\,\mathrm{skp})$ until 2 stitches remain before center panel, skp, center, k2tog,k1 $^{*}({\bf k}4,\!{\bf k}2{\bf t o g})$ until 7 stitches remain, k2tog, k5 Return: should equal $5+33+9+33+5$ Knit 6 rows with the standard decreases $\mathbf{\sigma}_{3}=5+30+9+30+5$ Decrease Row: k5, skp x16, k5, k2togx16, k5 Return: should equal $5+15{+}7{+}15{+}5$ Knit 2 rows with standard decreases $=5+13+7+13+5$ Decrease row: k5, skp x 7, k3, k2tog x7, k5 Knit two rows with standard decreases $=5+6+5+6+5$ Knit three garter ridges with standard decreases $=5+1+5+1+5$ Knit 4, k2tog, turn and knit 5. This will 'bind off a live stitch. Repeat until all live stitches are gone; then graft edge stitches together.

BOLD GODRIC - variation

Knit as the Godric, but Stocking stitch substituted for the lace. HOUSE GODRIC - variation Knit either Godric or Bold Godric with the following changes: Cast on and main body of shawl in charcoal grey.
