GARTER ST (back and forth):
K all rows. 1 ridge = 2 rows K.
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.11. The diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from RS.
KNITTING TIP:
The shawl can be knitted with other needle sizes than those given here. Use smaller needles for a smaller shawl and larger needles for a larger shawl. Stretch the shawl to shape at the end, possible uneven places should then even out.
SHAPING:
When using another yarn from yarn group A, there is no need to stretch the shawl to measurements, but place it gently out in shape. Leave to dry. Repeat the process when the shawl has been washed.
----------------------------------------------------------
SHAWL:
Cast on 3 sts on circular needle size 3 mm with Lace - read KNITTING TIP above. Then work and inc as follows:
ROW 1: 1 edge st in GARTER ST - see explanation above, 1 YO, 1 st in stocking st, 1 YO, 1 edge st in garter st. Insert a marker in the middle st = 5th st.
ROW 2 and all rows from WS: Work 1 edge st in garter st in each side (K from WS) and P all sts and YOs.
ROW 3: 1 edge st in garter st, K 1, 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO, K 1 and 1 edge st in garter st = 7 sts.
ROW 5: 1 edge st in garter st, 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO, K 3, 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO and 1 edge st in garter st = 11 sts.
ROW 7: 1 edge st in garter st, 1 YO, K 3, 1 YO, K 3, 1 YO, K 3, 1 YO and 1 edge st in garter st = 15 sts.
ROW 9: 1 edge sts in garter st, 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO, K 3 and insert a marker in the middle of these st, 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO, K 3 (there is a marker in the sts in the middle of these sts = mid st), 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO, K 3 and insert a marker in the middle of these sts, 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO and 1 edge st in garter st = 23 sts.
Row 11: 1 edge st in garter st, 1 YO, K until mid st, 1 YO, K1 (= mid st), 1 YO and K until 1 edge st remain, 1 YO and 1 edge st in garter st = 27 sts.
Work according to diagram A.1 to A.5 as follows from RS:
Work 1 edge st in garter st, A.1 over 3 sts, A.2 over 5 sts (first marker is in the middle of A.2), A.3 over 4 sts, 1 st in stocking st (second marker is in the middle of this st = mid st), A.4 over 4 sts, A.2 over 5 sts (third marker is in the middle of A.2), A.5 over 3 sts and 1 edge st in garter st = 31 sts. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION. When A1-A.5 has been worked 1 time vertically, there are 51 sts on needle. Repeat inc as shown in A.x, inc alternately 4 and 8 sts on every row from RS (i.e. 12 sts for every repetition vertically), work the inc sts in stocking st on each side of every A.2. Move the markers upwards when working to mark mid st and middle of A.2. Repeat as shown in A.x 24 times in total vertically, there are 339 sts in total on needle (piece measures approx. 35 cm). On next row from RS work and inc 4 sts as shown on first row of A.x = 343 sts. P 1 row from WS (work edge sts in each side of piece in garter st until finished measurements). K 1 row from RS and inc 1 st inside 1 edge st in garter st in each side = 345 sts on needle and P 1 row from WS.
Work according to diagram A.6 to A.8 as follows from RS:
1 edge st in garter st, A.6 over 4 sts, repeat A.7 21 times (4 sts remain on needle), A.8 over 3 sts and 1 edge st in garter st. NOTE: In diagram 2 sts are inc on the 11th row in every repetition of diagram A.7, A.6 and A.8. And 2 sts are inc on 17th row of A.6 and A.8. Work diagrams 1 time vertically = 429 sts.
Work according to diagram A.9 to A.11 as follows from RS: 1 edge st in garter st, A.9 over 7 sts, repeat A.10 23 times (7 sts remain on needle), A.11 over 6 sts and 1 edge st in garter st. NOTE: In diagram 2 sts are inc on the 17th row in every repetition of diagram A.9, A.11 and A.10. And 2 sts are inc on 21st row in A.9 and A.11. Work diagrams 1 time vertically = 521 sts, but on last row from WS loosely cast off with P.
BLOCKING:
Place the shawl in lukewarm water until it is soaking wet. Carefully squeeze the water out of the shawl - do not twist the shawl - then roll the shawl in a towel and squeeze to remove more water - the shawl will now only be moist. If another yarn from yarn group A is used - read SHAPING above. Place the shawl on a carpet or mattress - carefully stretch it out to size and fasten it with pins. If desired shape the edge by stretching a little bit in the area between the leaves to form tips and fasten these tips with pins along the cast off edge. Leave shawl to dry. Repeat the process when the shawl has been washed.

Trabajar según el diagrama A.9-A.11 como sigue por el LD: 1 pt orillo en pt musgo. A.9 sobre 25 pts, repetir A.10 21 vcs (quedan 25 pts en ag), A.11 sobre 24 pts y 1 pt orillo en pt musgo. “ Esto está equivocado. Busqué las instrucciones en inglés: Work according to diagram A.9 to A.11 as follows from RS: 1 edge st in garter st, A.9 over 7sts, repeat A.10 23 times (7 sts remain on needle), A.11 over 6 sts and 1 edge st in garter st. Así resulta bien.
30.05.2023 - 01:32Bonjour, Au rang numéro 11, vous dîtes de tricoter jusqu'au marqueur, de faire un jeté et ensuite vous mentionnez la maille centrale. Se pourrait-il que lorsque vous mentionnez de tricoter jusqu'au marqueur, il s'agirait en fait du deuxième marqueur (celui contenant la maille centrale) et non le premier? Merci.
30.12.2022 - 20:37DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Charlyne, il s'agit ici effectivement du 2ème marqueur, celui qui est dans la maille centrale. Bon tricot!
02.01.2023 kl. 16:48Est-ce possible d'avoir le nombre de mailles a la fin de chaque rangs de A1 a A5 car moi j'arrive toujours avec plus selon le diagramme. Autrement dit au rangs 13 j'arrive a 31 mailles . Voici ce que je fait: 1m.lis., 1jete, 3end.,2ens.,1jete,1end.,1jete,2ens.,4end.,1jete,jete,4end.,2ens.,jete,end.,2ens.,3end.,1jete,1m.lis. On finis le rang 12 a 27m. si on compte les jetes il y en a 8 donc 27 +8=35, moins le 4 m.ens= 31 mais le diagramme donne 30 mailles. Merci de votre aide

Bonjour Mme Bolduc, placez un marqueur entre chaque diagramme pourra vous permettre de bien vérifier le nombre de mailles à chaque fois; au 1er rang de A.1 à A.5 vous aurez augmentez 4 mailles: 1 dans chaque diagramme; au 3ème rang des diagrammes, vous aurez augmenté 2 m dans chaque A.2 et 2 m dans A.1 et A.5 etc... Bon tricot!

16.12.2021 kl. 07:53Hallo, ich bin jetzt mit der letzten Reihe der Anleitung fertig und würde nun die Abkettreihe beginnen. Allerdings basiert das Lochmuster ja auf einem glatt rechts gestrickten Untergrund. Wenn ich jetzt einfach wie angegeben in der Rückreihe abkette, rollt sich doch der Rand, oder nicht? Vielen Dank im Voraus für Ihre Antwort.

Liebe Monika, stimmt, aber das Tuch spannen Sie dann (siehe Video, dann rollt sich der Rand nicht mehr. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
16.11.2021 kl. 08:14I got this lace shawl pattern from my mum, ‘How to Knit Lace’ What I would like are the abbreviations to follow the pattern. I really enjoy lace. Thanks, Mary
12.07.2021 - 19:11DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mary, the symbols are the following (from top down): 1. knit from right side, purl from wrong side - 2. 1 yarn over between 2 stitches - 3. knit 2 together - 4. slip 1 as if to knit, knit 1 pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch - 5. slip 1 as if to knit, knit 2 together, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitches together - 6. no stitch (doesn't exist yet). Happy knitting!
13.07.2021 kl. 08:13Quand on fini le rang 11 on est à l'endroit. Quand on commence A1 je suis à l'envers doit on faire un rang envers avant de commencer A1.Quand je fait A1 j'ai trop de maille je n'arrive pas à 27 mailles.merci
20.04.2021 - 16:38DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Mme Brousseau, tricotez encore 1 rang sur l'envers afin de pouvoir tricoter les diagrammes A.1-A.5 sur l'endroit: 1 m lis, A.1 (= 3 m), A.2 (= 5 m), A.3 (= 4 m), 1 m jersey, A.4 (= 4 m), A.2 (= 5 m), A.5 (= 3 m), 1 m lis = 1+3+5+4+1+4+5+3+1=27 m. Mais à la fin de ce 1er rang, vous aurez naturellement davantage de mailles car vous avez augmenté dans A.1, A.3, A.4 et A.5 (= 31 m à la fin du 1er rang); mais les diagrammes se tricotent ainsi sur les 27 m. Bon tricot!
21.04.2021 kl. 07:11Jusqu'au 20ième rang J'ai 51 mailles ca va , mais après je ne comprend pas comment vous pouvez augmenter seulement 12 mailles au 2 ième rangs. .
29.03.2021 - 22:47DROPS Design answered:
Bonjour Aline, vous répétez ensuite les 4 derniers rangs de A.x= vous augmentez alternativement 4 m (rang 1 de A.x) et 8 m (rang 3 de A.x) = quand les 4 rangs de A.x sont faits, vous avez augmenté 12 m. Vous répétez 24 x les 4 rangs de A.x = 24x 12 augm=288m+51m=339m. Bon tricot!
07.04.2021 kl. 09:22Vous dites qu'après le 20 ième rang ont fait les 4 derniers rangs de AX. Comme il y a plus de mailles à chaque rang est-ce que je répètes le A2 . Moi cela me donne beaucoup plus de mailles à augmenter surtout quand on répète le rang 7
29.03.2021 - 14:56Ich habe einen Fehler in der deutschen Anleitung gefunden: in der 11. Reihe wurde der Umschlag vor der letzten Randmasche vergessen, sonst kommt man nicht auf 27 Maschen. Es muss also heissen: 1 Randmasche kraus rechts, 1 Umschlag, re bis zur Mittel-m, 1 Umschlag, 1 m re (= Mittel-M), 1 Umschlag und bis zur Rand-M re str, 1 Umschlag, 1 Rand-m kraus re = 27Maschen. Freundliche Gruesse Kerstin
