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.
