Knitting Pattern for a Delicate Spider's Web Shawlette with Detailed Instructions and Charts

THE ISHYUTNG

Name Modelnumber 1.1

What you need

Yarn

To gain a beautiful result you need to choose a very fine, slightly hairy yarn. If the yarn is to smooth the pattern will not stay in place. Bulky yarn is not recommended. The larger the needle size the more fragile the pattern becomes.

Lets get started. What you should know

Be prepared to fall in love with a combination of stitches that result in ,The Spider's Web'. Once you worked out the four rows counting 8 stitches that basically make up the pattern you will get addicted to this fast growing knit. Looking spectacular it is by no means difficult to knit, though as you are working with ,a double yarn over stitches in eyery row it becomes nearly impossible to rib out knitted rows. Therefore this pattern is highly recommended to knitters with a certain expertise. To get started easily I wrote down the first 1l rows stitch by stitch. If you follow this instruction you will get acquainted with the Spider's Web and get an overall idea of the sequel behind the chart. I would strongly recommend knitting these first rows with a rest of bulky yarn. When working with lace make sure to use pinpointed needles. And at last, be careful with the increases, they should be worked symetrically on both sides of a row. Khil il. Raphaela

Working part 2 - finishing

To bind off all stitches in the last row you should work the with a small crochet hook (size no larger than 3mm). To bind off first chain one stitch with a crochet hook in the first stitch of the last row. Than chain 5, continue ,crocheting the pattern: bind off stitches together that would be knitted together, bind off , Yarn overs as stitches, always chain 5 stitches for all dropped yarn overs (previous row). To finish the shawlette you should carefully stretch the delicate tissue into shape and do not leave it fixed for too long otherwise the tissue might lose it's tension. Fix the endings in circles so they will become curly.

The patter's detail consists of basically 4 combinations of 3 different ,sets of stitches being worked ,together'. Front rows (8, 10,12) are made of #1 and #2, back rows (7, 9, 11) are made of #3 and #4.

The Combinations #1 (see row 8, 10): knit 3 (double yarn over before and after) #3 (row 9, 11): purl 2 together (1 yarn over+1stitch), purl 1 purl 2 together (1 stitch + 1 yarn over)

#2 (see row 8, 10): double yarn over, knit 3 together, double yarn over #4 (see row 9, 11): double yarn over, purl 1, double yarn over 2x0 # 2x0

In front rows you are knitting #1 and #2, in Backrows #3 and #4. A ,knot consists of 4 rows (#4 - #1 - #3 -#2)。 Now, have a look at row 1l: which is the first ,complete' set of stitches you find? It is # 3 (colored orange). You will find the same set in row 9. Now compare the stitches on the right side of that row with the stitches you see in your last row (green). You would start row 12 by working the first stitch twice and go on with #1. You should continue working the #2 and #1 set in that row. As your work is growing you always have to identify the first complete set of stitches. Backrows are made of #3 and #4. Always leave out the first two stitches in a row from the pattern. They are simply knitted or purled.
