------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN: ------------------------------------------------------- RIDGE/GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth): 1 ridge = Knit 2 rows. DECREASE TIP: All decreases worked from the right side! Decrease 1 stitch inside the 2 stitches in garter stitch by knitting 2 together. Repeat the decrease alternately every, and every 2nd, row from the right side a total of 26 times in each repeat (there are 5 repeats on the shawl). Each time you start on a new repeat with short rows, start the decreases again; i.e. you decrease 26 stitches on each repeat. STRIPES: NOTE: Change of color is at the beginning of a row from the right side (= bottom edge of shawl). Make sure the strand is not tight between changes! STRIPE-1: * 1 ridge with rose mist, 1 ridge with off white *, work from *-* until repeat 1 has been completed = 40 ridges. STRIPE-2: * 1 ridge with wooden rose, 1 ridge with off white *, work from *-* until repeat 2 has been completed = 40 ridges. STRIPE-3: * 1 ridge with sand, 1 ridge with off white *, work from *-* until repeat 3 has been completed = 40 ridges. STRIPE-4: * 1 ridge with rose mist, 1 ridge with off white *, work from *-* until repeat 4 has been completed = 40 ridges. STRIPE-5: * 1 ridge with wooden rose, 1 ridge with off white *, work from *-* until repeat 5 has been completed = 40 ridges. KNITTING TIP: To avoid holes when turning the piece during short rows, tighten the strand before continuing. ------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ------------------------------------------------------- SHAWL - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: The piece is worked back and forth in 5 repeats with short rows and STRIPES – read description above.
