Tips and Tricks for The Richhill Shawl - 12 pages
The Richhill Shawl is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit sideways from one tip to the opposite edge. It features an eye-catching interplay of slip stitch colourwork and delicate lace, finished with a mock cable edging and bobble bind off.
Knit in sections of single and two-colour patterns, it is never boring. Lots of colour, lots of texture, and lots of variety to hold your interest.
The pattern includes row-by-row instructions with stitch counts for every row, and handy tables to help you keep track of your progress.
Charts for slip stitch and lace patterns are included. For side shaping, please refer to written pattern.
Alternative bind off options for a picot, I-cord or straight edge bind off are included.
You will also receive the Back to Richhill Shawl pattern. While The Richhill Shawl was in testing, the idea of starting with light and ending with dark appealed to me. This shawl is slightly larger than the original design.
As a fun bonus - you will also receive The Richhill Cuff pattern. The cuff is knit in the round and starts with your favourite cast-on for toe-up socks. Two buttonholes, with identical placement, are made on the front and back sides. After the cuff is knit to length, the live stitches are grafted. The cuff is an attractive, finishing touch to your lovely Richhill shawl.
Tips and Tricks is a separate 12-page PDF. It contains extra information on all the key details of the shawl, plus tips on yarn selection, gauge, correcting errors, blocking, and much more! Learn about Visual Row Tracking – my favourite way to count rows. As an experienced knitting instructor, I love to share helpful tips, and offer lots of advice!
SKILL LEVEL - Well within the capabilities of an adventurous beginner, but interesting enough for an experienced knitter to enjoy.
Heartfelt thanks to my enthusiastic, dedicated team of test knitters. Your commitment of time, your expertise, and valuable feedback are greatly appreciated. Please go to Projects to admire their beautiful shawls.
