ETHEREAL TRIANGULAR SHAWL Designed by Lakshmi Juneja Written transcription of charts by Andrea Shields Materials 1 skein Misti Alpaca Lace Solid in Ivory - Lace 2-ply 100% Alpaca -437 yards Circular knitting needle 29 inches or longer - size 3.5 mm/US size 4 Finished size after blocking is 57 inches across and 27 inches deep at center Notes Shawl can be knit in heavier weight yarns. Yardage and needle size would need to be adjusted to compensate. Gauge is not important. Select needle size for weight of yarn and lacy look desired. Pink shading on charts shows repeats. Half of shawl is shown in Chart 1 and Chart A. Repeat for other side of center stitch. Chart 2 B shows the right and left sides of the shawl. A dotted line indicates where the charts should be joined Row count graphs show the number of stitches after you complete the row indicated. Extra repeats were added to the Chart 1 Repeats graph in case you wish to enlarge or reduce the shawl. Instructions Cast on 5 stitches and work 2 rows of garter stitch Knit row 1 on Chart 1 (k2, yo, k1, yo, k2) You will have 7 stitches after completing row 1. See Row Count Chart at right. To make shawl in size shown, knit rows 1-42 of Chart 1 one time. Next, knit rows 29-42 three times. Shawl can be enlarged or reduced by knitting more or less repeats of Rows 29-42. Always end on Row 42 of Chart 1 before moving to Chart 2 A. Knit rows 29-40 of Chart 2A one time. Knit rows 41-82 on Chart 2 B one time. Finishing Bind off using a stretchy cast off. k1, *k1, transfer two stitches back to left needle and k2tog through the back loops*. Repeat across. Block. See next page for line-by-line directions of charts 1, 2 A, and 2 B.
