Pattern Specs
CONSTRUCTION
- The center portion of this square shawl is worked in the round from the center out, beginning with 8 stitches.
- After the completion of Chart C (Knitted Lace Frame), you will no longer work in the round. The shawl will be finished by attaching a traditional Knitted-On Edging (Chart D) in place of a standard bind off.
GAUGE
- 16 stitches & 30 rounds = 4″ in circular Stockinette Stitch; relaxed after light lace-blocking
Note: This fabric is lightly lace-blocked, just enough to open up the motifs (without stretching them tightly), in order to maintain a fuller-bodied fabric in the finished piece
NEEDLES
- One 32″ circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge
- One set of DPNs in same size as Gauge Needle for working beginning of shawl and knitted-on edging
- Suggested Size: US 5 (3¾ mm)
FINISHED DIMENSIONS
- 53” x 53” square; relaxed after blocking (see blocking note above)
Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.
