Semele
5 for 4 – if you buy any 5 Åsa Tricosa patterns at the same time you get the least expensive one for free.
A sideways, elegant, leafy shawl, knitted in one piece
(the orange shawl and the gorgeous photograph in my Rav Ad is by knittimo)
- Semele is knit sideways from end to end in one piece, including border and edging
- Looks equally good in a warm, comfortable sock-yarn or in a delicate lace
- Begins with a little “quirk” -- the first edging leaf is knit in the opposite direction, but everything is still one piece via a few picked-up sts and a provisional CO of even fewer sts
- Weigh your yarn before beginning -- turn when halfway through (or a little before, to be safe)
- The pattern -- a rejigging of Barbara Walker’s lovely, lovely Great-Grandmother’s Edging -- is charted and written out
- Gauge is given for Posh Eva (one border repeat is circa 9.5 cm) but is unimportant -- use any weight yarn you like
NOTE on stitch markers: If you decide to use stitch markers even though none appear in the pattern, please be aware that the increase/decrease uses sts on both sides of a border marker.
