Sylvestra
Sylvestra is an easily knitted asymmetrical shawl that can be knitted in any yarn weight. Loosen a few simple patterns series and provide variety while knitting. Material: Approximately 200g (You can use 3 yarnweights 4ply, sportweight or DK.) You need depending on yarn weight, 120 (DK) to 100 g of the main color and 50 g of contrasting color. Use the appropriate needles for the yarn weight (Example, 3.5mm for many sock weight yarns.). In my example, I have used Evento (150m / 50g LL) from Lana Grossa, knitted on needle size 4.5mm. There are two types of increases. : Increase I. : Double\* 1st stitch and knit the last two stitches together in each right side row. In each wrong side row: Double the last stitch. Increase I1. : 1st and 2nd stitch double\* (loosely knit) knit the last two stitches together on the right side row. Double only the last stitch on the wrong side row. \*Double = KFB Basic pattern: Garter stitch; knit on both sides with main color. Pattern I. : Use contrasting color. lst row: (increase) 1 YO, K2Tog until the end of the row (Keep count steady: go up) simply knit one stitch instead knitting two stitches together) 2nd row: Purl all stitches.
Start: Cast on 3 sts in main color. Work with pattern 1. till you have 75/63/59 sts on your needle. Continue to work in the following striped pattern using increases I. : 2 rows pattern I. in contrasting color 48/40/32 rows in basic pattern (garter stitch) and main color 2 rows pattern I. in contrasting color 36/30/24 rows in basic pattern and main color 2 rows pattern I. in contrasting color Attention: Start here with increases I1. 12/10/8 rows in basic pattern Attention: You will work with the increase I1. 1st and 2nd stitch double (loosely knit) knit the last two stitches together on the right side row. Double only the last stitch on the wrong side row.) NOW ONLY 6/5/4 times each 2 rows in pattern I. and 2 rows in basic pattern. Knit another 24/20/16 rows in a contrasting color and in the 25th/21st/17th row bind off. Now just sew up all the ends and you're done.
