Cast on:

cast on 12 stitches with crochet hook in colour A k all 12 stitches (12 sts.)

Notes:

instead of one middle stitch, the shawl has a centre cable, it means you have 8 middle stitches These 8 stitches are worked as follows - in the right side rows (Rs): p2 - k4 - p2; in the wrong side rows (WS): k2 - p4 - k2; they are “cabled" in the following rows (R): R 5, 13, 21, 29, 37,45,53, 61, 69, 77, 85, 93, 101, 109, 117, 125, 133, 141, 149, 157, 165, 173, 181, 189, 197, 205, Important: the centre cable is continually worked through all chapters of the pattern; for that the "Chart 2" (for the cable) needs to be continually inserted between the separate pattern Charts (between the YELLOW lines). Please be aware that in the Cable Chart (chart 2) the wrong side rows (the even row numbers) are shown and the Charts for the Lace pattern (Chart 3a and 3b) shows only the right side rows (the uneven row numbers) also keep in mind, that the Chart don't start always with Row 1, it means if the cable is at Row 5 by the end of one chapter, continue at the beginning of the next chapter with Row 6 and not with Row 1 Colour changes only graphically declared in the Chart for the slip stitch pattern Before every Chart is a declaration in witch row the colour changes, how many stitches should be on the needles at the end of a wrong side row by the end of a block of rows, how often and in witch row the cable is “crossed" in a block of rows For example: AR. 1-28 (96 M) 3 x cabling R. 5, 13, 21 it means: colour ,A“Rows 1- 28 96 stitches on the needles the cable are worked 3 times in the block of rows, in the following rows: R 5, 13 and 21

The Finish:

Wave in all ends, but don't cut them too short. Now a relaxing bath in warm water (best over night) is required. Next morning carefully squeeze out the water and lay flat out to dry and only pick it a little bit in shape.

The shawl should not beblocked!

When the shawl is fully dried, carefully cut the rest of the ends! Now it is ready to wear!

Happy knitting!

Dear knitter, because I don't speak English, my daughter (cdknuddel) is translating for me. Her English is out of school and also not very good, she is trying her best to translate my German patterns for the English speaking community on Ravelry. If you find any errors, or if you have any questions about the pattern, or if something is not understandable, please contact me or her over PM on Ravelry (my user name is babs12351 and my daughter is cdknuddel) so that we could learn and correct the errors!
