WATERCOLOURS
SHAWL
Copyright 2003 Denise Powell for Pointers
5 balls Estelle Watercolours
12 mm needles
Finished size: approximately 90
cm (36 inches) deep and 150 cm (60 inches) across top edge not including
fringe.
Gauge: approximately 8 sts per 10
cm (4 inches) using two strands of Watercolours held together – gauge is not
critical for this project.
Instructions:
Cast on 2 stitches.
Row 1: k1, yo, knit to end of row. (Each row will be one stitch longer than the
previous row.)
Repeat row 1 until you have used four balls of Watercolours or until
desired length is achieved. Cast off
very loosely.
Make fringe: Using the fifth
ball, cut lengths of Watercolours approximately 35 cm (14 inches) long. You can wind the yarn around a small
paperback book, lengthwise, and cut along one end to make the pieces. Knot four fringes through each yarnover hole
at the edge of the shawl.
TIPS:
YO – yarnover increase – bring yarn between needle points to front,
then take across the top of the needle before knitting the next stitch. This makes a decorative increase.
