---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- GARTER STITCH (back and forth): 1 ridge = knit 2 rows. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. Diagrams show all rows from right side and show how to decrease in the different repetitions. DECREASE TIP-1: Work diagram A.1 over the first stitches on needle (seen from right side). Repeat A.1 vertically 8 times in total (= 24 stitches decreased in repetition). Work short rows and garter stitch for entire repetition. Every time a new repetition with short rows begins decrease starts again. I.e. 24 stitches are decreased in each of the first 3 repetitions. DECREASE TIP-2: Work diagram A.2 over the first stitches on needle (seen from right side). Repeat A.2 vertically 4 times in total, then work the first 6 rows in diagram (= 13 stitches decreased in repetition). Work short rows and garter stitch for entire repetition. Every time a new repetition with short rows begins decrease starts again. I.e. 13 stitches are decreased in each of the last 2 repetitions on shawl. KNITTING TIP: To avoid a big hole when turning on short rows tighten the yarn before continuing. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- SHAWL - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Work piece back and forth in 5 repetitions with short rows.
