Wedinas Little Paw's Silk Garden Shawlette Knitting Pattern and Tutorial Guide

Wedinas.. Wedinas Little Paw's Silk Garden Shawlette

This pattern is a colourful asymmetric triangular shawlette. One border is decorated with lacy leafs. The other side consists of squares in garter stitch. It begins with a big square. Every next square is a little bit smaller than the previous one. The angle where leafs and squares are meeting ends in a blossom. Some time passed by since I made my knitting notices. I hope that nothing went wrong in my pattern description. If you have problems feel free to contact me. I'll answer as soon as possible. And now have much fun with your needlework.

Instructions

Part 1: Leafs

Cast on 8 sts. Knit 6 sts, purl 2 sts. Continue with chart A. The Leaf motif is patterned on both sides. Odd rows are RS, even rows are Ws. Odd rows are read from right to left, even rows from left to right. Work the rows 1 to row 24 once. After this repeat the PR Leaf chart A (row 17 to 24) horizontally 8 times. Continue with the increases on the right side edge as before (PR Inc blue marked). If you like, you may work further PRs Leaf of chart A for a bigger shawl. 1 count row 88 (after you worked the 8 horizontally PRs): 7 sts (Leaf) + 113 sts (stockinett

Part 2: Squares

There are different ways to work a square in garter stitch. I prefer the way with sll klpsso and k2tog over the 4 middle stitches. Every square is worked in the usual way. Each following square is 2 sts smaller than the previous square and 4 rows shorter. There are 2 methods used for cast-on. They are described in the appendix.

2a) Square no. 1

pic 2.1 (RS)

pic 2.2 (RS) Cast-on CO1 35 sts (1st for the space column and 34 sts for the square). Even rows (WS) are blue framed! Turn after all rows unless otherwise is mentioned.

Appendix

A1) Cast-on CO1:

	The first new st is created on right side of the ES. Insert the right needle between the ES and the second st.
	Wrap the thread around the needle and pull it through as if to knit.
	Put the new st loosely back to the left needle.
	And now insert the right needle between the new st and the previous st. Wrap the thread around the needle and pull it through as if to knit. Put the new st loosely back to the left needle. Repeat until all sts are cast-on.

Similar methods: Cable Cast-on, Knitted cast-on. You may use what you prefer.

A2) Cast-on CO2:

Pick-up the sts along the edge of a square. There are little knots at the edge. Insert your needle in a knot and draw the needle with the yarn through this knot. Then there will appear a nice cast-on row. A knot appears every second row when you knit the edge sts both on WS and RS.

Picked-up sts on the other side. Picked-up sts on the pick-up side It's not so easy to photograph knitted pieces, when you only have two hands. I hope that these pictures are helpful for you.
