comparable weight & gauge
*size 8 (5 mm) needles
*stitch marker(s)
Gauge: 18 sts:4 (stockinette, size 8

Design:
The shawl is made up of four basic
elements separated by rows of eyelets: an
upper border, stockinette body, garter leaf
border, and lower slipped stitched border.
Knitting starts at left side & by increasing,
knitting straight and decreasing along the
eyelet row between body and garter leaf
border, a crescent shape is formed.
Finished Size: SMALL 12.5h x 52w
Tips:
For neat edges slip first stitch purl-wise with yarn in front (sl1p wyif), return yarn to the
back of the work and proceed in pattern.
To help follow written instructions place a marker between the garter leaf border and the
eyelet row that separates it from the body.
Glossary and symbol key are provided on page 6. Pattern includes instructions in
written and charted format.
The right side of the shawl is represented by odd-numbered rows.

[After rows 1-34 are finished you will have completed one repeat of the garter leaf
pattern and started the left sided tip of the stockinette crescent that makes up the body
of the shawlette. You should now have 25 stitches.]
Repeat rows 1-34 once more. When finished you will have two garter leaves and the
stockinette body of the shawlette will have increased in width & height. You should now
have 42 stitches.

Repeat rows 1-34 three times more with the following adjustment to all right side rows;
after stitch marker work yarn over, k2tog then proceed in pattern to end of row. This
ensures no further increases to the body of the shawl. You should have 42 stitches after
this section is completed. You will now have 5 garter leaves and note that the
stockinette body has been extended width-wise with no further increase to its height.
Repeat rows 1-34 two more times with the following adjustment on right side;
after stitch marker work yarn over, k3tog then proceed in pattern to end of row. These
decreases work to shape right tip of the crescent. You should have 8 stitches after this
section is complete with 7 garter leaves and a crescent-shaped shawlette body.
Work 2 rows in garter stitch before binding off. Sew in ends. Wet blocking is essential
to achieve stated dimensions and create a suitable drape for this shawlette.
