04-09-2020 - frogged. I almost got to the end but was unhappy with how this yarn played with the pattern. I think the yarn needs something simpler, like an asymmetrical triangle.

This pattern is written only. I’m not going to say it definitely needs a chart, because most of the stitch patterns are simple. But it could use headers saying what each section of the pattern makes: seed stitch, eyelets, lace, parrellelograms, etc.

I say this because early in in the shawl there is a section that makes seed stitch. Later on, you repeat some of these lines, so I expected seed stitch again. I got….ribbing. And I just wasn’t sure if that was right or not. Even after making a quick chart of those rows, I’m still not sure. So yeah, some indication of stitch patterns created would be helpful.

initial notes

Pattern calls for a US5 needle but I don’t have any, and besides I am a loose knitter, so I’m using US 4 instead.

My yarn’s label doesn’t say Sock on it--it just says Ranco, with Multy written underneath in smaller font. But I am assuming it’s the Sock since the information in the database matches what’s on the label.
