This is the smallest possible size, as written there are options to increase the body by 16 rows, and the edging also by 16 rows.
I used only 3/4 of my skein in the end and had about an ounce (best I could do on the measurement front I’m afraid, the scales were fuzzy) left. So roughly 290m/305y.
1 skein = 383 m/419 y, 99 grams and my skein was a generous 105 g.
Mine measures about 105 cm in width, 50cm depth.
I have charts for a bigger version if anyone wants to extend this further. It adds about 40 body rows and then has 20 rows of edging.
It is also possible to extend up to 20 rows by following the previous formula for another segment (working K7, SK2P, K7 and then decreasing these extra 2 sts by working an sk2p in the trans row - (K7, SK2P, K7 )replacing K15. Thanks to Kabuli1 for this trick.
19/6. A name issue.
It was designed with Paris in mind (our first port of call once we leave the UK), the lace shapes were meant to look a little like the Eiffel Tower (except that I made the YOs on those last couple of rows extra tight for some reason) and the shape radiating out from the centre was based Paris from the air, but the best paid plans of mice and men… And when my iPad was left on a bus and then locked in a Lost & Found office for a week, this was something I could knit from memory, so it jumped the queue.
However, it was finished off in Wales, and photographed the next morning in an amazing mossy wood, and now it looks like something Titania dropped on her way home from a revel, rather than something a chic French missy would wear strutting around the city.. So, it’s nameless until something falls into place.
Just planning ahead. Trying to decide what shape to make this. I have the body and the edge clear in my head, but which path to take them down..?
Crescent, heart or semi circle?
13/6
Went with the semi circle in the end. Currently blocking. The pic hanging over a rail is pre blocking. It made a very dense ruffle with an interesting triangular detail.
This is the smallest size. The pattern includes options to lengthen the spokes by 16 rows, and also to extend the lace for a slightly different effect.
And no, in case you happen to be wondering, I haven’t knit part 1 yet. I was planning to, but started this instead while my iPad was on holiday because I could knit it without the charts, unlike the other one.
