SHAWL – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle, from side to side.
SHAWL:
Cast on 5 stitches with circular needle size 4 mm and DROPS Sky.
Read EDGE STITCHES and GARTER STITCH in explanations above, then work as follows:
ROW 1 (right side): Work 2 edge stitches, 1 garter stitch, 2 edge stitches.
ROW 2 (wrong side): Work 2 edge stitches, 1 garter stitch, 2 edge stitches.
ROW 3 (right side): Work 2 edge stitches, make 1 yarn over, 1 garter stitch, 2 edge stitches. The yarn over is knitted twisted on the next row – no hole.
ROWS 4-10: Work 2 edge stitches, garter stitch until there are 2 stitches left, 2 edge stitches.
ROW 11 (right side): Work 2 edge stitches, make 1 yarn over, garter stitch until there are 2 stitches left, 2 edge stitches. The yarn over is knitted twisted on the next row – no hole.
Repeat rows 4-11 onwards, i.e., increasing every 8th row (every 4th row from the right side). There are always 2 edge stitches on each side, with more and more garter stitches in between. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
Work until the piece measures 37 cm from the cast-on edge (approx. 25 stitches and 12 cm at the widest point).
Continue working back and forth, without further increases, for 3 cm.
Now decrease on the same side as you increased earlier. Continue with garter stitch and edge stitches as before, but on the first row from right side, decreasing inside 2 edge stitches as follows:
Work 2 edge stitches, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, work garter stitch until there are 2 stitches left, 2 edge stitches.
Repeat the decrease every 8th row (every 4th row from the right side) until there are 5 stitches left. Work 2 rows as before. Cast off with knit. The piece measures approx. 77 cm.
