KNITTING TENSION: This garment is to be soaked and blocked/stretched to size afterwards so the knitting tension is not that important but to get a sense of whether you are working too loose/tight, work a test on needle size 3.5 mm in stocking st and get approx. 23 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm. GARTER ST (back and forth on needle): K all rows. PATTERN: See diagrams M.1 and M.2. Diagrams show pattern from RS. Pattern in diagram M.1A is reversed from pattern in diagram M.1B. INCREASE TIP: Work 5 sts in 1 st as follows: K 1, 1 YO, K 1, 1 YO, K 1. NOTE: To avoid a "fragile" middle st when inc 5 sts in this st, knit up sts both through middle st on needle and middle st from previous row at the same time. --------------------------------------------------------SHAWL: Worked back and forth on circular needle, work from mid back of neck and down. Cast on 3 sts on circular needle size 3.5 mm with Lace. Work as follows: Row 1: K 2 sts in 1st and 2nd st, and K 1 st in 3rd st = 5 sts. Row 2: K all sts. Row 3: K 1, K 2 sts in next st, insert a marker in next st (mid st), K 2 sts in next st, K 1 = 7 sts. Row 4: K all sts. Row 5 (WS): K 2 (= edge sts), P 3 and K 2 (= edge sts). Continue as follows: 2 edge sts in GARTER ST - see explanation above, diagram M.1A, 1 mid st in stocking st, diagram M.1B and 2 edge sts in garter st. When diagram M.1 has been worked, continue inc and pattern the same way, i.e. inc 4 sts on every row from RS. Work until the shawl measures approx. 42 cm measure mid back and lightly pull when measuring (finish after 1 row from WS). Continue in pattern and on next row (= from RS) inc mid st to 5 sts (4 sts inc) SEE INCREASE TIP. Work one more row from the WS purl the inc sts. Continue with diagram M.2 as follows: 2 sts in garter st, diagram M.2A over the first 2 sts, insert a marker, then diagram M.2B until the 3 sts in the middle (the middle st and 1 st on each side of this st), insert a marker, work the 3 middle sts in diagram M.2C, insert a marker, continue with diagram M.2D until 4 sts remain, insert a marker, work diagram M.2E over 2 sts and the last 2 sts in garter st. After 1 repetition of M.2 in height repeat last 2 rows in the patterns M.2B, M.2C and M.2D until finished measurements, and work M.2A and M.2E as follows: Work first row of M.2A: K2, start M.2A from beg again over next 2 sts, work M.2B over next 8 sts. Work first row of M.2E: work M.2D over first 8 sts, then start M.2E from beg again over next 2 sts, K2. Continue like this, incorporating new sts each side in pattern until piece measures approx. 60 cm / 23'' mid back (with a light pull). Cast off with 2 threads as follows: K 2 sts, slip them back on left needle and K them twisted tog (i.e. work in back loop of st instead of front). * Work 1 more st (= 2 sts on right needle), slip them back on the left needle, K them twisted tog *, repeat from *-* until all sts have been cast off. This is done to make the edge elastic for blocking.

BLOCKING: Place the shawl in lukewarm water until it is soaking wet. Carefully squeeze the water out of the shawl - do not twist the shawl - then roll the shawl in a towel and squeeze to remove more water - the shawl will now only be moist. Place the shawl on a carpet or mattress - carefully stretch it out to size and fasten it with pins. Leave to dry. Repeat the process when the garment has been washed.
