Tsuga by Mindy Dykman Raven Knits Design
July 2012
On the south side of Highway 1, between Chilliwack and Hope along the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, there is a waterfall. Bridal Veil Falls is the 6th tallest waterfall in Canada, and hiking through Bridal Veil Provincial Park, in a forest dimly lit and cool even on the hottest of summer days, is amongst my favourite childhood memories. The forest around the foot of the falls is a mix of cedar, maple, alder and the magnificent tsuga heterophyllia, the Western Hemlock tree. Long graceful branches with slightly upturned tips, broad flat needles dark green on top with pale silvery bottoms, cones that seem ready to drop off at the slightest provocation, and feathery new growth in sweet pale spring greens; these trees were my fascination from the moment my Father taught me to identify them by turning over the branches to see the silver hidden below. Tsuga is a top down triangular shawl with flared ends for a slightly crescent profile, reminiscent of the graceful Hemlock tree. Pine cone lace begins the shawl, with a band of pinecones hanging between branches of old and new needle growth. Beading is optional in both branch sections.
Materials: 620 yards (466 m) dk weight yarn (11 wpi) 5mm (US 8) circular or straight needles 88, 190 or 278 size 4/0 beads .6mm crochet hook for placing beads
A note on gauge – I do not consider gauge to be vital to any lace shawl, as it is not a fitted garment and therefore the overall size of the project matters less than the fabric produced. In fact, I encourage experimentation with yarn weight and needle sizes, with the understanding that if the yarn weight or needle size is quite a bit different from what is called for, it will affect the overall size of the finished item, as well as the yardage required. I owe a large debt of gratitude to my friends Lisa Prince, Genevieve Kingston and Mel Howells for their patience in ferreting out the many small errors made in both the written and charted instructions. Dedicated to the memory of my Opa, Jan Hendrik Dijkman, whose love of plants and animals and birds, and the quiet wild places of the world, has been passed from his children to his grandchildren to his great-grandchildren.
Set Up:
Written Directions Key:
Cast on three stitches. Work these three stitches for six rows of garter stitch. On next row: Knit the three stitches from the needle. Turn your work; pick up and knit three stitches from the side of the garterstitch tab. Turn your work again; pick up and knit three stitches from the cast-on edge. 9 stitches total. Next row: Knit three stitches, purl three stitches, knit three stitches. Begin chart A, using written or charted directions.

no stitch; this is a place holder to keep the charts lined up knit yarn over make one (lift bar between stitches on row below, knit through the back of resulting loop) slip one knitwise, knit next two stitches together, pass slipped stitch over ssk k2tog increase three stitches from one as follows: knit one into next stitch, do not slip stitch off left needle; yo, knit one through back of same loop, slip stitch off left needle purl place bead as follows: place bead on crochet hook, lift next stitch off of left needle onto hook, slide bead over stitch, replace stitch onto left needle; knit into loop above bead for shawls without beads, purl this stitch start reading charts here
Finishing: Bind off using a stretchy cast off. My favourite stretchy bind off is as follows: Work first and second stitches from left needle. Knit the two stitches on the right needle together as for an ssk. Work the next stitch from the left needle, then the two stitches on the right needle. Continue until there is one stitch left on the right needle; fasten off. Block, weave in ends, and enjoy!
