Finished dimensions
Top edge approx. 136 cm / 53 ½ in; height in the middle approx. 63 cm / 24 ¾ in
Stitch patterns:
- Lace pattern:
follow the charts and the written instructions.
- Garter stitch:
knit all rows.
Gauge:
23 sts on the lace pattern = 10 cm / 4 in
Note:
The shawl is knitted starting from the neck, in the middle of the long edge. On each RS row increases are worked at both ends and in the middle, with 4 sts increased each time.
Cast on 3 sts and purl 1 WS row. Then begin the lace pattern from row 1 of chart I: (RS) k1, yo, knit the middle st (marked in blue on the chart), work the left side as the mirror image of the right side (= yo, k1) = 5 sts.
Row 2: k1, p3, k1 = 5 sts.
Row 3: k1, yo, k1, yo, knit the middle st and work the left side as the mirror image of the right side (= yo, k1, yo, k1) = 9 sts.
Row 4: k1, p7, k1 = 9 sts.
Continue in the same manner and work rows 5-94. Work the left side after the middle st as the mirror image of the right side. 4 sts increased on each RS row (1 st at both ends and 1 st on both sides of the middle st). The 8-row stripe pattern is repeated 10 times in total, 185 sts now on the needles (92 sts + 1 st + 92 sts).
Continue in the same manner. The lace pattern on the edge is repeated as on rows 13-54.
When the 8-row stripe pattern has been repeated 15 times in total, there are 265 sts on the needles (132 sts + 1 st + 132 sts).
Continue working the lace pattern from row 1 of chart II: work 4 sts from the right end of the chart (= 3 sts + 1 st), work the 20 st pattern repeat 6 times, work 10 sts at the left end (= 9 sts + 1 st), work the middle st, and work the left side as the mirror image of the right side. Work rows 2-48 of chart II, and then work 2 rows in garter st. Bind off.
Finishing
Wet-block the shawl to measurements and allow to dry, or steam it lightly.
