Body of shawl:

Begin chart or written directions follow.

 

Notes on chart:

• Only right side rows are charted.
• All wrong side rows are k4, purl across to last 4 sts, k4.
• The chart represents half of the shawl.
• The 4 sts of garter ridges on each side and center st are not included on chart. So you need to k4, K chart, k1, K chart, k4. You may want to place a marker to mark garter st border and before center st to keep your place on chart.
• Slip 1^st stitch of each row for clean-looking edge.

Section 3, 4 and 5:

Continue as established in Sections 1 and 2 (thus doing 3 more sections) adding reps as needed and stopping after Row 26 (WS row) of Section 5.  (In other words, stop right before working the purled row.)

 

Eyelet edging:

Next Row (RS):  Sl 1, k3, yo, k1, *yo, k2tog; rep from * to before center st, yo, k1, yo, **ssk, yo; rep from **to last 5 sts, k1, yo, k4.

Next Row (WS):  Sl 1, k to end.

Next Row:  Sl 1, k3, yo, k to before center st, yo, k1, yo, k to last 4 sts, yo, k4.

Next Row:  Sl 1, k to end.

Next Row:  Sl 1, k3, yo, k to before center st, yo, k1, yo, k to last 4 sts, yo, k4.

 

On RS (with needle one to two sizes larger if you have a tendency to bind off tightly), bind off all sts using picot bind off.

 

How to picot bind off:

K a st without dropping it off needle. Now take the st on the right needle and slip it to left needle (you have made a new st). Rep this once more, 2 sts made. Now bind off 8 sts and slip remaining st from right to left needle. Rep this process of making 2 new sts then binding off 8 sts across all remaining sts.

 

Finishing:  Weave in all ends. Block piece to measures below.
