WAVY LEAVES AND BUTTERFLIES SHAWL

by Athanasia Andritsou

Yarn used: Lana Grossa lace merino 100% Merino (lace - 2ply) 2.8 skeins = 1223.6 yards
(1118.9m)
Needles used: 3mm (US 2.5)
Gauge24 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in wavy leaves pattern (chart A) after resting after
blocking.
Measurements: 150 cm width from one wing edge point to the other, 70 cm along the spine,
long after blocking
BUT: You can actually knit it with any yarn: cobweb, lace, fingering, needles according to your
feeling for airy lace and gauge is of no importance.
The 1st st is always slipped purlwise with yarn held in the front.
There are 3 garter sts in the beginning and 3 in the end of each row. These are always knit. The
charts do not show the garter sts.
There is one central st, which is knit on the right side, purled on the wrong side.
Chart A shows half shawl, it does not show the central st.
Chart B1 shows the right side of the shawl, it shows the central st in light pink.
Chart B2 shows the left side of the shawl, it does not show the central st.
Charts are read: from right to left for the odd rows left to right for the even rows.
2014 Athanasia Andritsou

Charts show both right and wrong side rows.

In the charts are shown the yo after the 3 garter sts, before and after the central st and before
the 3 garter sts.
After each chart there also written instructions.
There is a stitch glossary after the written instructions of the last chart.
A) Start with garter tab as follows:
Using Crochet Cast On, CO 3 sts.
Knit 17 rows, slipping first st of each row.
At end of the last row, turn work 90 degrees and pick up and knit 7 sts along one long edge of
work (1 st in each slipped st along edge, skipping first st). Remove waste yarn from CO edge,
place the resulting 3 live sts on left needle and knit these sts. You have now 13 sts.
Or (if you dont like garter tab) Cast on 13 stitches and Purl 1 row (wrong side).
B) Continue with Chart A as follows:
3 garter sts, Chart A, central st, Chart A, 3 garter sts.
Continue repeating rows 15-34 of Chart A as long as you wish.
You can go to Charts B1-B2 after having completed row 34 of Chart A.

C) Continue with Charts B1 and B2 as follows:

3 garter sts, Chart B1, central st, Chart B2, 3 garter sts.
The reason why the central st is marked light pink on the chart B1 is that on the rows 33-42 of
Charts B1 and B2 the central st becomes part of the pattern, it does not have a yo before and
after it.
Bind off after row 41 of Charts B1-B2 (on the wrong side) using 2 strands of yarn held together
as follows: k2, *sl both sts back to left needle and K2tog inserting the right needle through the
back loop, k1* till you have 1 st. Break yarn and draw through last st.
