Christine's Shawl

Picture
Shawl / wrap , by Christine B Linfield .
AUGUST 20, 2015
  •  Although a true tension square is not need for this shawl , I would suggest knitting a small one just to be sure you are happy with the finished look .
The yarn used for the blue shawl is like Hobby but with a slub in it . (
 the wine coloured yarn is a little finer T 4 )
I knitted at tension 5 on my Brother 950i .
​
Cast on over 180 Ns in WY .
K 1 row with nylon cord .
With main yarn , e wrap cast on .
K 3 rows .
Transfer every 4 th stitch to adjacent N .   I I I O I I I O I I I O I I I
K 240 rows .
Set carriage to Hold .
# Put the first set of 3 Ns at the opposite end of bed to carraige to Hold . ( the carraige is on left = needles on right )
K 4 rows .
Put the next set of 3 needles in to Hold
K 4 rows . #
Repeat this until all Ns are in Hold .
 ** Bring back the first set of 3 needles on the LEFT back in to Work .
K 4 rows .
Bring back next set of 3 needles into Work.
K 4 rows . **
Repeat until  all Ns are back into Work.   ( First point knitted )
K 20 rows straight . ( Shoulder to nap of neck )
Repeat # to #  and ** to **   (  knit second point , centre back )
K 20 rows straight . ( Nap of neck to shoulder )
Repeat # to # and ** to **    ( third point knitted )
K 240 rows .
Bring all needles in to Work .
I picked up from the heel of adjacent Stitch , so all 180 needles have stitches !
Knit 3 rows and cast of very loosely .
I gave the shawl a good pressing !
