Notes
  • Cast on: I began with garter tab - CO2, knit several rows. Then turn the thing 90°, YO, pick and k1, YO, pick and knit 2 sts. That makes 7 sts on the needle.

  • WS: k2, pulr until 2 sts, k2

  • RS: k2, M1, knit until center, M1, k1, M1, knit until 2 sts, M1, k2

  • …basically it is a triangle with 4 M1 increases in the RS and with 2sts garter borders.

  • Change color so that the stripes are 2 rows wide.

  • Before lace part - one eyelet row.

  • Lace begun at +- 375 sts.

  • Beads in lace part according to other people’s pictures.

  • Last two rows of lace chart are in natur colour (not an intention, I ran out of dark blue).

  • One extra WS row before bind off.

  • Bind off with crochet hook - beaded picots at the points only.

  • Blocking: wingspan 179 cm, depth 77 cm. … well, it’s rather huge :)
