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 red somewhere to use one size larger needles on the cross stitch pattern. But I didn’t bring larger needles with me so I didn’t do it - but I totally would have done so!! So next time…

Thinking about what color to use on the edging when I run out of yarn - I originally thought black but when I got my dark intensity Verhext und verratzt I think this might suit better. But I ended up using black :)

Used
54 grams black
162 grams wichtelwalzer
218 grams yarn used total.

My blocking mat could have been bigger but when blocking I had to use chairs to keep the corners of the mat to stay close to the ground :)

I think it really changes the shawl by blocking it. Can’t wait to see it of the mat!!
