Wavy Crockett Shawl Pattern


Cast on 15 stitches.  Knit one, place marker. 

There are two parts to this shawl, the part before and after the marker.  The part after the marker will be the chart below.  On rows where there is a * on the chart you will make one before the marker on the second stitch of the row by knitting front and back of the second stitch at the beginning of the row.  (The exception is the first increase will be done in the only stitch before the marker.)  For example, on row 9, after you finish purling across from row eight, you will turn your work, knit one, knit front and back of the second stitch, and knit till the marker, slip the marker and continue the chart.

Once you have increased to 30 stitches before the marker knit 3 chart repeats without increases before the marker. 
Now the * rows will mark decreases rather than increases.  So again, you would purl to the end of your row, turn your work, knit one, knit two together, knit to the marker, slip the marker and continue in chart.  Once you are down to one stitch before the marker you will finish the pattern (should end at the same time the end of the chart repeat) and then knit the next row.  You will bind off loosely the following row. 

Note:  for making 5 stitches (shown on the chart as MMMMM, written as "make 5") you will knit into the bar between the next stitch and your current stitch, yarn over, knit, yarn over and knit.  This will create 5 new stitches.

  2. This is very, very pretty! It's just the sort of shallow shawl I've been wanting to try, so I think I'm going to try my hand at it! Thank you so much for sharing it! :)

  3. This symbol (/) on your chart means knit OR purl two together, right?

    Thanks, I'm enjoying the pattern.
