Bromeliad Shawl - director's cut (expanded chart!)
This chart shows an expanded version of the original Bromeliad Pattern (also for download available). Why a second chart version? Three different numbers complicated writing this chart: 34, 6 and 8. 34 rows of big pannel, 6 rows of small pannel and 8 rows of border part. Only after 408 rows they meet again. This means that one has to depict 12 times the 34 big pannel rows which is exactly what I did here. To make things easier I devided the original chart into a set up chart and an expanded version of the rest. (Thanks for this suggestion, TheBon!) Now you can decide which chart you prefer or if you want to knit from both of them. How to read the charts: The pattern shows the whole width of the shawl. For knitting the right sides (odd numbers) you read from right to left and for knitting the wrong sides (even numbers) you read from lefto right. So you readin a zigzag. yarn suggestion: DyeForYarn lace silk, 100g,600m (this is sufficient for a length of 72 inches) needlesize:US 2 %(3mm) shawl size: After 14 bromeliad repeats (big pannel repeats) the shawl has a size of 72 inches $\mathsf{x}$ 13 inches. Cast on 81 sts.Start with row 1 of the set up chart. After finishing the set up chart go on with row 1 of the Actual Shawl chart right side: knit; wrong side: purl right side: purl; wrong side: knit Knit 2 together $\backslash$ slip one, knit one, pass slipped stitch over Oyarnover $/\bullet$ wrong side: knit 2 together the same as·,I just marked the site where you start to purl instead of to knit Principleof thisstole: The border part is in garter stitch. One repeat consists of 8 rows. The small pannel is purled on the wrong side. One repeat consists of 6 rows. The big pannel is normally purled on the wrong side, except for the regions which are purled on the right side.
