SIMPLE SHAWL PATTERN
In article ,
Mirjam Bruck-Cohen wrote: Hallo Knitknut ,,,, yes like you i preffer decreasing over increasing ,,, the last Knitter`s has loads of shawls , but those start with the smaller size ,,, thus here goes .... make a GUAGUE SWATCH ,,,,,, = .. cast on 20 st in the wool you want to knit your shawl with,,,, knit 10 rows , take off needles and lay over a measure tape ,, in you copybook [for knitting] , write down wool named xxxxx on needle number ZZZ 20 st= ??? cm [inches] . Now if you have a sahwl measure in mind [wrap yourself in one or in a piece of cloth ,,,, measure both short sides of the shawl and calculate how many stiches you need for those , mark your middle , best advice have 1 middle stich , and make you decreases on both sides of that one. decided upon pattern ,,,, knit 1 row as is ,,,, 2 row and every alternative row ,,, knit [or purl as you chose pattern] 1 [side] st, k 2 st together, knit till 2 stiches Before middle stich[ you better put a mark of colored tread there ] knit 2 together, k1 [or purl] , k2 togeher, knit till 3 before side , 2 together , k1 , alternative rows knit all . Mirjam, I notice that your shawl pattern decreases 4 on every other row, and not on the inbetween rows. Wooly's decreases 4 on every other row, and 2 on the in between rows, so her shawl will come out shorter than yours. Not having made either one, I'm wondering how long your shawl usually comes out, by comparison with how wide it is. Is your shawl longer or shorter than it is wide? If made in thinner yarn instead of thick yarn, would the shawl come out shorter in proportion? (I think it might, because the decrease rate would be the same but the row gauge would be smaller, but I'm not sure.) =Tamar |

SIMPLE SHAWL PATTERN
I can help you with a beautiful crochet one If you are interested I can send
it to you by e-mail and then you print it. It is very simple but I find it nice. It is crochet though. Sofia D "KNITKNUT" a écrit dans le message de news: ... Hello all..I'm searching for a triangular shawl pattern. I have trouble increasing, so I thought a pattern that is worked"upside down" might be easier, starting with the widest edge. I am better at decreasing (new knitter). Any assistance is much appreciated. Thank you |
