Notes

Note: I’m not convinced the yardage on my yarn is accurate. I definitely used 0.6 skeins, but 360 yards seems too low for the size of the shawl.

The yarn I chose wound up much more purple than I expected (it looked more blue in the skein). I think it will work though.

Cast on using an improvised garter tab rather than the suggested cast on just because that’s my personal preference.

Ripped and restarted with a more tonal yarn. I was worried the variegation in my original choice was going to fight the pattern too much.

11-26-2017

Much happier with the revised yarn choice. Solid color/tonal is the way to go.

Finished Chart 2!

12-08-2017

Struggled a bit with the transition between chart 3 and 4. With how the chart is formatted, it’s difficult to see how things line up, but the pattern is accurate. Trust the charts.

12-09-2017

Finished chart 4, on to chart 5! Note that the pink portion in chart 5 is repeated four times.

12-17-2017

Started on chart 6 last night. The pattern repeat isn’t specified, but it’s geometric enough that I was able to figure it out.

Edited to add: jk, the pattern repeat is specified in the chart. It’s just not visible on the low resolution copy I printed out.

I don’t think you’re supposed to knit row 35 of chart 6. The stitch count definitely doesn’t work if you knit it. It does work if you treat it as a charted version of the crochet bind off though.

Used size D crochet hook for bind off.
