Fall Breeze Shawl Pattern

Here is the second thing I designed. It's a very, very simple pattern, but the yarn just added another dimension to the pattern. Enjoy! :)
Model: Megan May
Photographer: Hector Plahar

Materials
Caron Simply Soft, Off-White Color; 315 yards/60z/170g- 1.5 skeins

1 set US #8/5mm straight needles

The border pattern “Lace Check” was taken from “Harmony Guides: Lace and eyelets- 250 stitches to knit”, edited by Erika Knight.

Lace Check Pattern (Multiple of 18+9)
Row 1(wrong side): Purl
Row 2: K1, *[yo, k2tog] 4 times, k10; rep from * to last 8 sts, [yo, k2tog] 4 times.
Row 3: Purl
Row 4: *[sl 1, k1, psso, yo] 4 times, k10; rep from * to last 9 sts, [sl 1, k1, psso, yo] 4 times, k1.
Repeat these 4 rows twice more.
Row 13: Purl
Row 14: *K10, [yo, k2tog] 4 times; rep from * to last 9 sts, k9.
Row 15: Purl.
Row 16: K9, *[sl 1, k1, psso, yo] 4 times, k10; rep from * to end.
Repeat these last 4 rows twice more.
(Total of 24 rows)

Shawl
Cast on 91 stitches.
Knit 6 rows in garter stitch.
Now knit 3 repeats of the lace check pattern (all 24 rows), and always keep 5 stitches on each side in garter stitch for the border stitches.

Main Body:
Still maintaining the 5 border stitches on each side, work the main body of the shawl in stockinette stitch until shawl is desired length (mine was 55 inches). To end, knit 3 more repeats of the lace check pattern (still keeping 5 border stitches on each side in garter stitch). End by knitting 6 rows in garter stitch, and then bind off loosely.

Finishing:
Pin out the shawl and steam press it if the yarn is acrylic. If wool, block using blocking wires and pins. For more information on blocking knitted items, visit: http://www.eunnyjang.com/knit/2006/12/how_to_be_happy.html

Hello Spring! Here's a new free pattern!

Spring is FINALLY showing up in full force over here. I'm seeing flower petals floating along on the (STRONG) winds we've been having here in the Bay Area. To celebrate this change of seasons, here is a free pattern for a scarf that I designed last year. I called it Colliding Stars after my friend Melissa, who owns a calligraphy and design business called...you guessed it - Colliding Stars . She saw the initial sample of this scarf that I knit in some random green yarn I had in my stash. (Funny story - I bought the yarn from a fellow Ravelrer who had dyed it a bright neon green. I took it and overdyed the scarf a dark green, but I think I agitated the yarn too much so it had this sort of semi-felted look to it. Pretty interesting). Anyway, here are a few pictures of the initial Colliding Stars scarf, and the pattern follows. You can download a pdf version of the pattern here or on Ravelry . Colliding Stars Denise A. F.

A new free pattern: Wrapped in Clouds Shawl/Scarf v1

Today I have a new pattern for all my knitters out there. It's a very simple pattern that creates a gorgeous, warm shawl, just in time for the cold weather. I actually finished this last year but only got the chance to write it up and put it up now. Here it is, the "Wrapped in Clouds Shawl/Scarf". Thanks to my friend Johanna P. for modeling this at work about a year ago!! The pattern has also been added to Ravelry here . Wrapped in Clouds Shawl/Scarf A friend of mine saw a shawl similar to this somewhere and asked me to recreate it. I did my best to imitate the look of the shawl, but I cannot for sure say that it’s the same shawl. I thought I’d share the pattern with anyone who might be interested in a light but warm shawl made by striping thin cotton yarn with bulky single ply wool yarn. Because of the lightness of the bulky wool, this shawl can also be worn as a scarf by wrapping it around your neck. The finished product is classy and elegant for very

Thank you Rebecca! I love Simply Soft too! The pattern is very repetitive and soothing, and makes for great tv knitting. Enjoy! And do put up pictures on Ravelry of your WIP and FO.
