Notes

Finally! I really love Kauni/Evilla with long colorshifts. But my skin doesn’t like to use Kauni or Evilla and I get hysterical when shawls are itchy. So cotton with long colorshifts sound like heaven.

This will be a summer shawl for me :)

I don’t think it is possible to use larger needlesize on this yarn.

Casted on 5 stitches

  1. knit all
  2. knit 1, knit f/b, knit, knit f/b, knit
  3. Knit all 7 stitches

Started for the Lillia Hyrna shawl but changed my mind while knitting. I did notice that Pamuya also started with stockinette so I didn’t have to cast on again :):)

I just LOVE how the small cross stitch pattern turns out. Slip as to purl, knit, yo pass slipped stitch over the knit stitch and the yo.

When doing the wave pattern just remember that yo’s after and before edge stitches (and center stitch if you are making yo’s instead of M1) has to be knitted on the purl row - not slipped!! Pattern tells to slip all yo’s but the increase yo’s needs to be knit.

I removed some of the yellow and some of the green and yellow. I didn’t like these colors together and it was too much of it.

Other modifications. I did yo instead of make one at the center stitch all through the shawl. I did M1 at the edge but only for the first row - yo the rest and still a yo at the centre.

Used 131 grams of yarn.
