“Der Querdenker”ist ein Tuch mit einer asymmetrischen Form.
In das Gestrick sind verkürzte Reihen Swing-light ™ eingearbeitet die das Tuch lebendig machen.
Wie immer führe ich Reihe für Reihe durch die Strickschrift.
Das Tuch ist aus ganz verschiedenen Garnqualitäten testgestrickt, schaut euch die Fotos dazu an, dann fällt euch die Entscheidung vielleicht etwas leichter, welches Garn ihr verwendet.
Auch aus Restgarnen stelle ich mir das Tuch sehr schön vor, dabei beachtet bitte, dass sich die verkürzten Reihen farblich gut abheben, das wirkt immer super und dadurch wird euer Tuch noch interessanter.

Der Querdenker” (maverick, literally, “sideways thinker”) is an asymmetrical shawl featuring short rows in the Swing-light™ technique. No prior experience in this technique and no special vocabulary knowledge are required - every row is written out with detailed explanations and ample photographs.

Three yarn options are given in the pattern. For every option, two stitch markers will be needed in addition to needles and yarn, one red and one blue one.

Option 1
Yarn: 150 g [5.3 oz] La Doro by Ferner (lace yarn) in color 6, 100% wool, yardage 300 m [328 yds] per 50 g
Needles: circular needle 3.5 mm [US4], 150 cm [60 in] long.

Option 2
Yarn: 400 g [14 oz] Glanzpunkt by Atelier Zitron, 60% silk, 40% Modal (Tencel), yardage 300 m [328 yds] per 100 g [3.5 oz], in the following colors: 200 g [7 oz] col. 8014, 100 g [3.5 oz] col. 8014, 100 g [3.5 oz] col. 8023 and for the black yarn, an additional Lurex binder by Lanartus was used, 25 g [0.9 oz] Galaxy in color 106 at a yardage of 340 m [343 yds] per 25 g [0.9 oz]

This shawl can also be made from various remnants – if you choose this option, look for visible contrast between the short row sections and the rest of the shawl.

Help! My PDF file doesn’t open / I get an error message “this file is damaged”!
If you were able to apply the coupon and download the pattern, but got an error message that it could not be opened, which can sometimes happen if your PDF Reader program is older, use the newest Adobe Reader Vs. 11. Sometimes, there also might be problems when you try to open on a device other than a computer. Try whether this happens to the German version, too, on your device. Delete the pattern from your library (make sure to delete German and English), then press “add to library” again from the pattern page and download again. If you have a public library nearby, access your Ravelry library from there and have the librarian help you print out the pattern for you. (You don’t need all the colored pictures in the last pages.)

Please note: There a a few few photos missing in the current English version, but I wanted to upload it anyway so you can take advantage of the promotion. A new English version will be uploaded later - the instructions will stay the same, it will just have more photos. Meanwhile, if you want to look at all the photos, please download the German version.
