LindaA shawl by Mourning Dew Studio

www.mourningdewstudio.com

Linda is the second in a series of one skein shawls designedto use any single skein of yarn in fingering, sport, DK, andworsted weights. A kitchen or jeweler’s scale helps us use upthe skein without running out of yardage. We recommend ascale that measures two-tenths of a gram for the best results.Please note that less yardage could result in a smaller shawl,so bigger needles might be necessary to compensate.

This beginner friendly triangle shawl is worked on the bias inclassic garter stitch alternating with mesh lace, featuring openincreases throughout, and ends with a garter ridge edging.

Yarn used for sample is Blackened Seasoning on LagniappeSock from Mitchell’s Creations athttps://mitchellscreations.com/

© MDS, 2021 - For any questions regarding this pattern, please contact: mourningdewstudio@gmail.com This pattern is for personal, non-commercial use only. Do not distribute.

Notes:Linda is worked on many different weights of yarn but thepattern for all of them is the same. The difference will come forthe amount needed for the bind off.

In order for you to use whatever weight yarn you would like,choose a needle size that gives you fabric that you like. Iprefer a bit looser stitches to give me a larger shawl. I alsoblock very aggressively.

The stitches involved should be well-known to an adventurousbeginner. Please refer to YouTube if you see any you areunfamiliar with.

A neat edge will result from working the stitches as written.

As always, PLEASE read the entire pattern before you startand familiarize yourself with all terminology.

Work these 4 rows for 20 rows, until you have 10 holes. Irecommend weighing your remaining yarn after each garterstitch and mesh lace repeat.

Garter Section:Row 1: S1wyif, Knit to last stitch, S1wyif.Row 2: K2, YO, Knit to end.

Repeat these 2 rows for 24 rows, until you have 12 ridges.Remember to not count the last row of the last hole.

Each repeat includes one Garter Section and one Mesh LaceSection. Continue alternating these sections and weighingafter each repeat. I’m including our measurements to help you.

Since we had 20 grams left which is not enough for anotherrepeat but too much for the finishing, we continued the MeshLace repeats until we had about 6 grams left.

Not everyone is as brave as I am. I have spent a lot of timeweighing and knitting and binding off. If you do not feel brave,you can work to a weight you feel more comfortable with.

Bind-Off

Make sure you start the bind off at the point of the shawl,working towards the arm. We do this so the focal point of yourshawl is not ruined by weaving in your end. You will weave theend in on the arm, which should be mostly hidden anyway.

Using a needle one size bigger than you worked your shawl (Ido recommend using a 4.0mm if you worked your shawl with a3.5mm) bind-off as follows:

Bind-off: S1wyif, YO, K1, take your left needle and lift the YOand the slipped stitch over that last knit stitch. Yarn over, knitone stitch, and lift both the yarn over and the knit stitch overthe last knit stitch. Continue until you’ve bound off all stitches.

Weave in your ends and block to your preference!

Blocking

Soak in your favorite no-rinse wool wash and block yourshawl.

Cut your end and weigh it!

Weight of skein: ____________

Enjoy your shawl!

MDS plans to continue to offer our patterns in a range of yarnweights and yardages. Please check back often for updates.
