Whimsical Anna’s shawl - free pattern

 

Whimsical Anna’s shawl

 

The shawl is knitted from mid front and starts with only two stitches. In the first part there are regular increases along the edges to create a nice tri­angle at the front, it´s then even more gradually increased to stretch it out.

 

In the second part the work is divided in two and you knit one side at a time. During this part it´s increased even more along the edges while the part close to the neck is decreased to form a nice U-shape. The further you knit the longer the edges get.

 

Completely whimsical!

Information and materials used in this project:

·         Needles 4 mm

·         1 ball of Rio from Järbo, 100 g = 300 m

Gauge: approx. 19 stitches x 32 rows (Gauge is not important in this project.)

Size: 

125 cm from mid front along the edges to the tip. 

The top edge measures 220 cm (That is 75 cm + 70 cm U-shape  + 75 cm) The triangle in front measures = 33 cm from tip to cast off edge in front and 83 cm across the triangle before it´s divided in two parts.

You can use other yarn and needle size, just be aware that the finished size will not be the same.

M6    increase at beginning of round.

Knit 1 in front loop of first stitch, do not drop stitch from needle. Put it in front of first stitch on left needle  = 1 new stitch

Repeat the procedure, e.g. M6 means make 6 new stitches at beginning of round. M12 = make 12 new stitches etc.

Whimsical Anna´s Shawl - new knitting pattern up and running

This shawl is started as a triangle but when it reaches 33 cm wide it begins to stretch out. It´s divided in two parts and stretched out even more. This makes it a perfect fit for those who don´t like it when it gets too bulky around the neck but still wants that piece of triangle to cover the front when it´s chilly outside. When worn as a shawl over the  shoulders it has long enough sides to wrap around to make it stay comfortable. 

I hope you´ll love the design!

Monica's Shawl - oblockad men klar :-)

Alla 6 ledtrådarna är klara. Visserligen är den oblockad men den är färdig! Stickad i Drops Lace och stickor 3 mm. Det ska bli spännande att se skillnaden när den är blockad.

Monica's Shawl KAL

I Facebook gruppen https://www.facebook.com/groups/chippzan/ har vi ett KAL evenemang på gång. Jag stickar redan på Clue 3 fast planen var att börja en ny ledtråd varje fredag. Hos mig har det dock funnits tid och ro att sticka så jag passar på medan det varit lugnt. Haka på vettja! Bara att ansöka om att få komma med i gruppen om du inte redan är med och sen tacka ja till evenemanget fast det är påbörjat. :-)

"Mönster:
https://kudumishoolik.wordpress.com/the-clues-of-monicas-shawl/

Vi stickar sjalen tillsammans och hjälps åt i den mån vi kan. Mönstret är på engelska och är redan uppdelat i 6 ledtrådar, vilket passar utmärkt som KAL.

Planen är att vi börjar på en ny ledtråd varje fredag men ni stickar på i den takt ni vill. Förmodligen kommer ledtrådarna ta längre och längre tid att göra men om tiden inte räcker till så förlänger vi bara evenemanget :-)

Ledtrådar:
24/4 Clue 1
1/5 Clue 2
8/5 Clue 3
15/5 Clue 4
22/5 Clue 5
29/6 Clue 6 - sista ledtråden

Så fort sista ledtråden är avklarad är det dags att blocka våra sjalar. Kanske har vi alla en ny fräsch sjal redan till Nationaldagen, annars har vi ju alltid Midsommar :-)"

Shawl - with shells and clusters of double crochet - free pattern

SVENSKT mönster hittar du här!

The chart (or similar) has been jumping around in different groups on Facebook. I take no credit of the chart since it belongs to someone else. I've tried to google the pic in my search for the designer but unfortunately no one seems to claim it. The search only led to different russian blogs that seems to only have shared it. If you know who it is, please let me know so the right person gets the credit for it. I find it gorgeous.  J 

This is only my interpretation of the chart so there can be variations, eg instead of treble you can do double crochet througout the pattern. Also, English is not my native language (I'm a Swede) so there will probably be some - or many -  parts that are completely off when it comes to grammar and spelling. Just a heads up.  J

Written in US terms.

Finished size: approx 135 cm/53" along the top edge and 80 cm/31" from center top edge to bottom tip. (It´s not blocked).

Yarn used: acrylic yarn from Stoff & Stil, 100 g/350 m 
I used 210 g for the whole shawl, including the fringes of 10 cm.

Hook: 4 mm/ US F

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
tr = treble (yarn over twice )
dc cl = cluster (group of dc)
loop/ loops =  A loop is basically the chain from previous row.
skip = skip/jump over what´s written in pattern, 
[....] 4 times =  Repeat what´s written inside the brackets the number of times shown after.
fptr = front post treble 
bptr = back post treble

 
How to make front post treble: 
Instead of pushing the hook through a stitch, push it between the tr:s in previous row (from the front) and up on the other side of the tr. The tr is now laying on top of the hook.  Yarn over, pull back and finish treble as usual. This way you get an edge structure on the shell. 

Back post treble:
Do as front post treble but from the back. Push the hook from the back, between the tr:s in prev row, up on the other side of the tr. The tr is now laying on top of the hook. Yarn over, pull back and finish treble as usual. 

NOTE! First block of shells are all crocheted in front post trebles, second block is back post trebles, etc.

You do not break yarn anywhere, unless you want to change color. Just turn your work and continue :)

Pattern updated August 14, 2016
I´ve updated the pattern again and hope that this´ll make things easier for you, but if you have questions don´t hesitate to contact me and I´ll try my very best to help you. 

So many readers has reached out and contacted me with questions and/or lots of love for writing this pattern down - from Karen, who made suggestions for the better when I first posted this pattern to just recently - and I want to say THANK YOU to everyone  that´s been in contact with me. You make my day!

22. *[bptr 1, ch 2] 10 times, sc 1 in loop, ch 2* Repeat *-* till center where you'll bptr 20 in the large shell, ch 2, sc 1 in loop *[bptr 1, ch 2] 10 times, sc 1 in loop, ch 2* Repeat *-* till end of row. Turn!

Continue to make another row of shells according to row 19 - 22. Each time there will be an increase of one shell along the sides. 

Repeat the block of clusters from row 12. Ignore the amount of times, it'll not measure up since you've increased number of shells along the way. Just keep track on beginning, center and end of rows and you'll be fine. 

Repeat amount of shell- and cluster blocks until you're happy with your size. Of course you can make more or less rows of shells and clusters, use your imagination and creation. This is just one version of many :-)

Happy crocheting!
