Garter st, back and forth on needle: K all rows

Pattern: See diagram M.1 and M.2 A/B.
The diagram shows the pattern from the RS side.

Shawl: Knitted back and forth on circular needle from bottom up. Cast on 3 sts on needle size 3.5 mm [US 4] with Fabel and work 1 vertical repeat of M.1 (first row = WS) = 15 sts. Now work M.2-A at beg of row and M.2-B at the end of row (work sts in between in garter st). Remember the knitting gauge! After 14 vertical repeats of M.2-A/B there are 295 sts on row. Now work 1 vertical repeat of M.2-A/B, but do not work the last 2 rows in diagram = 331 sts. Work 2 rows garter st on all sts. Change to Alpaca and work 4 rows garter st on all sts. Bind off loosely.
Crochet border: Crochet a border along top edge of shawl (binding off row) with crochet hook size 3 mm [US C] and Alpaca as follows:
Row 1: 1 sc in corner st, *2 ch (= 1 ch-loop), skip 2 sts, 1 sc in next st*, repeat from *-*.
Round 2: Crochet with double thread Alpaca. 1 sc in first ch-loop, *3 ch, 1 sc in next ch-loop*, repeat from *-*. At the same time after approx 10,6”, crochet a buttonhole by crocheting 5 ch instead of 3 ch and repeat after another 3,1”.
Button covers: Crochet 2 covers with crochet hook size 3 mm [US C] and Alpaca as follows: 2 ch, then 6 sc in the first ch, finish with 1 sl st in the first sc (= round 1).
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc = 12 sc.
Round 3: *1 sc in first sc, 1 sc in second sc, 2 sc in third sc*, repeat from *-* and finish with 1 sl st in first sc from beg of round = 16 sc.
Round 4, 5 and 6: 1 sc in each sc.
Round 7: 1 sc in every other sc and finish with 1 sl st in first sc from beg of round = 8 sc.

Put buttons inside cover, sew round the edge of cover and tighten thread. Fold shawl double and sew on buttons approx 2½” from crochet border to fit buttonholes.
