Please see the Prologue for basic crescent and triangular shawl construction if you have never made a shawl or the charts for the crescent and triangular options are confusing you!

Charts:

- The stitch repeat for each chart is 12 stitches. - ws (odd) rows are NOT shown on any of the charts. These are simply purled across. - Border stitches (the k2 on either side) and edge yarn overs are also NOT shown on the charts. - All Rs rows on the crescent-shaped shawl are worked as k2, yo, m1, chart, m1, yo, k2. - All RS rows on the triangular shawl are worked as k2, yo, chart, spine, chart, yo, k2 - Stitch counts per RS row will be highlighted in green below the charts and in [brackets] at the end of the written directions - Note that one of the double decreases is a slk2tog psso (slip next st kw, k2tog, pssso).

-All charts are on the final pages of this pdf:

Rectangular: page3 Triangular:page 4 Crescent: page 5-6 (rotated & un-rotated charts provided- they are biggies!)

Rectangular (stole/scarf):

Directions are written as scarf (stole). As with the other shape options, the chart omits a selvedge of k2 on either side. CO 41 (65), or any multiple of 12+5 (chart + selvedge stitches) using a provisional cast on, so you can pick up at knit to make both scarf halves symmetrical- and omit grafting. Work 36 in/92 cm in stockinette stitch. Pick up and knit as many stitches as you cast on from the cast on side, and work each set of directions identically on both sides. Work Chart 1 twice, then work Rows 2-39 (Rowss 2-38 of chart, then work a WS row) Work chart rows with each row as k2, chart, k2! : cast on likewise, but knit in stockinette until 8 inches/20.5 cm less than desire Garter tab cast-on (for both crescent & triangular): CO 3 sts using knitted cast-on (you may use waste yarn for a provisional CO of your choice, as you will be picking these sts up) Rows 1-12:K across Row 13: K2, p1 Turn work Cw (CCw if left-handed) and pick up & knit 6 sts, one from every other row Turn work Cw (CCw if left-handed) and pick up & purl 1 st, then pick up & knit 2 sts from the CO row [12 sts] This pick up row counts as Row 1 of the pattern (ws row). From here on, move to char,remembering to k2, yo at the start of each row and yo, k2 at the end of each row. ig knitted cast-on and knit 2 rows, then work k2, p10, p2 as your pre-chart row

Triangular:

I include the spine chart on the Setup Chart for visualization, but it is not shown on the other charts for the triangular shawl. The spine is worked as follows and remains the same throughout the whole shawl: Spine directions: 10 Row l: p2 Row 2: back twist cable (k tbl into 2nd st from needle, k into first st of needle normally, slip both sts) Row 3: p2 Row 4: k2 Repeat Rows 1-4 throughout entire shawl

Corinthian Order, @DeviousRose

If you want, you can work a more typical spine and just k2 on every row. The setup chart for the triangular shawl is shown with spine for better visualization. The first chart is shown with spine for visualization purposes. Stockinette version: Cast on the same way, and work spin as indicated, but work body in stockinette until you have 378 sts on needles, or any multiple of 12 + 6 (all RS rows will be k2, yo, knit to spine, yo, knit to selvedge, yo, k2, and all wS rows will be k2, purl to last 2 sts, k2)

Unlike the triangular, increases are NOT shown on charts. You must work each RS chart row as k2, yo, m1, chart, ml, yo, k2. Each ws row is just k2, purl across, k2.

Stockinette version: Cast on the same way, and work spin as indicated, but work body in stockinette until you have 371 sts on needles, or any multiple of 12 + 11 (all RS rows will be k2, yo, m1, knit to selvedge, m1, yo, k2, and all ws rows will be k2, purl to last 2 sts, k2) Charts:

Pilar Lace (Chart 1 Rectangular) (multiple of 12+1)

Spine Setup chart shown with spine, edge increases, and both halves for those who have never made a triangular shawl before. The other triangular charts will only be shown for each half.
