SHAWL – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked sideways, back and forth with circular needle.
SHAWL:
Cast on 5 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Sky or DROPS Daisy.
Work and increase as shown in diagram A.1 (first row = right side).
When the diagram is finished, work garter stitch and stocking stitch as before and continue to increase after the first 2 stitches at the beginning of every 6th row. There are 2 stocking stitches on each side of the piece and more and more garter stitches in the middle. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When the piece measures 56 cm continue for a further 4 cm but without further increases.
Work garter stitch and stocking stitch as before but now decrease inside 2 stitches in stocking stitch on the same side as you previously increased, i.e. work from the right side as follows:
Work 2 stitches in stocking stitch, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch. Work as before to the end of the row.
Repeat this decrease after the first 2 stitches at the beginning of every 6th row; you have 2 stocking stitches on each side of the piece but fewer and fewer garter stitches in the middle.
Work until there are 5 stitches left. Work 2 rows and cast off on the next row. The piece measures approx. 116 cm.
