Stockinette Haruni Shawl Pattern by Emily Ross: A Simplified Crescent-Shaped Triangle Knit with Beaded Lace Edge

Stockinette Haruni

by Emily Ross December 31,2014 Pattern 013 Revision 1 This shawl is a simplified version of Haruni, featuring a stockinette body. The body increases at a rate of six stitches every other row, which creates a slightly shallow, crescent shaped triangle. You can easily create a very wearable shawlette with a single skein of most sock yarns. Directions are given for increasing the overall size as well. Optional beads, which are placed as you knit, give the lacy edge a bit of sparkle.

Instructions

Set Up

This shawl begins with a garter stitch tab cast on. Using the provisional cast on method of your choice, cast on 3 stitches. Slip 1 as if to purl, knit 2. This initial slipped stitch should be worked quite loosely, to facilitate blocking. The slipped stitch creates an attractively smooth finish on these edge stitches. You may simply knit the first stitch of every row if you prefer. Repeat this row 5 more times. After the 6th row, rotate your knitting 90 degrees clock-wise, and pick up and knit 3 stitches along the side of your strip of knitting, one in each garter ridge. Undo your provisional cast on, place the 3 stitches on your left hand needle, knit 3. 9 stitches total. Turn. Slip 1, k2, p3, k3, turn. You are now ready to begin the stockinette body.

Stockinette Body

KFB = knit into the front and back of a stitch, adding 1 stitch. Row 1, sl1, k2, yo, k to center stitch, yo, k1, yo, k to final 3 stitches, yo, k3 Row 2, sl1, k2, KFB, p to final 4 stitches, KFB, k3 Repeat these 2 rows until you have a total of 249 stitches. If you would like to adjust the size of your shawl you may do so in 40 stitch increments, ie, continue until 289 stitches. Since 40 is not divisible by 6 (your rate of increase) you will need to adjust the final purl row. Working 6 additional repeats will bring you up to 285 stitches, then work 2 rows with only 4 increases (omitting the wrong side increases), to bring you up to 289. Make sure your stitch count total is a multiple of 40 + 9, and that the stitch counts on either side of your center stitch are consistent before continuing to Chart A.

Chart A — Overview

In Chart A you will be increasing very rapidly for the first 16 rows, then decreasing the number of stitches per row for the final 13 rows. All wrong side rows are worked as following: sl1, k2, p to the final 3 stitches, k3. The center stitch is still uncharted. For rows 1-15 it remains as a single knit stitch, in rows 17-29 the center stitch grows into a center section, shown in pink on the chart. For the first 16 rows of this chart each half of the shawl must begin AND end with a pair of leaves, separated by your center stitch. These segments are highlighted in yellow on the chart. To knit the first 16 rows of Chart A, begin reading right to left, repeating the boxed stitches, ending your final repeat of the first half midway through the chart, with the last yellow stitch. Knit your center stitch (not shown on the chart), and repeat for the second half of the shawl starting AND ending with a yellow segment, and finishing with the 3 edge stitches. Starting in Row 17, the center stitch grows into a center section, which is shown in pink. To work these final rows begin with the edge stitches (noting that they have changed), then repeat the boxed stitches until your final repeat before the center stitch. This final repeat is worked as written until the final 3 stitches (the yo, sl2k1psso, yo), which are omitted. This should bring you up to 1 before the center stitch. Place a stitch marker, and work the section of the chart shown in pink, place another stitch marker, and begin repeating the chart as written, ending your final repeat by skipping the yo, sl2k1psso, yo, and working the final edge stitches. As you knit Rows 19-29 these 2 stitch markers will help you keep track as the center section widens. If you are knitting from the charts you may want to consult the written instructions to insure you understand the repeat structure. Row 29 represents your bind off row, please refer to the following bind off instructions.

Bind Off

This bind off is worked by creating chains to connect groups of stitches. This makes a very stretchy bind off, which blocks into beautiful little loops. Row 29 on the chart shows you which stitches are grouped together (the decreases), and how many stitches to chain between each decrease. Work the first decrease on Row 29, a knit 4 together. Insert your left hand needle into the FRONT of the stitch on your right hand needle, knit this stitch. You've just chained 1 stitch. Repeat this 2 more times, for a total of 3 times. Work the next decrease on the chart, a sl2k1psso. You now have 2 stitches on your right hand needle. Cast off one stitch, by passing the rightmost stitch over and off the needle. Chain 5, place bead and chain 4. If you'd like to omit the beads simply chain 9. Once you have a 9 stitch chain (with or without bead), work the next decrease on the chart. Cast off 1 stitch, and begin the next chain. Continue to work the bind off row in this manner.

31-Dec-14

Sew in any ends, soak, and block. To emphasize the curving lines of the leafy edge pin out the longer (beaded) chains individually, and do not pin the shorter chains.
