Neat Shoulder Warmer Knitting Pattern: A Modular, 5-Section Design with Increase, Eyelet, Short Row, and Decrease Sections

Neat - Shoulder Warmer

This shoulderett is made up of 5 different sections put together like building blocks. I will start of by describing each section and after that continue to describe in which order to knit them. Explanation to the abbreviations can be found on the last page. Enjoy Material: 1 ball of Schoppelwolle Zauberwolle, 420m Needles: 4mm needles Gauge: 20st to 4”’ once blocked, although gauge is not crucial to this project it will affect the final size Size: From start to finish along inside edge 56cm/22" Depth at centre back 35cm/131/2

Building the shawl

Knit the sections in this order: A-B-C-B-D-B-C-B-D-B-C-B-D-B-C-B-D-B-C-B-E

Finishing:

Sew in all ends. If you like you can make a crochet chain along the inside of the neck from first to last section B to get a snug fit for the neck. See picture below. Blocking is not necessary but a good wet block will give it a nice finish.

Abbreviations:

BO - Bind off CO - Cast On K - Knit K3tog - Knit three stitches together Kf&b - knit once in the front loop and once in the back loop of stitch and thereby increasing one stitch M1 - Increase one stich by picking up and knitting the strand between the first and second stich. Knit into the front as to deliberately make a small hole. P - Purl RS - Right Side S1wyif - Slip one stitch purlwise with yarn in front st - Stitch w&t - slip one stitch from left needle to right, bring yarn to front of the work, slip stitch back to left needle. Turn work and continue. WS - Wrong Side yo - yarn over, bring yarn to front and then over the right hand needle to the back again. The strand of yarn wrapped over the needle is then knitted on the next row resulting in a new stitch.
