Rosa+Íris=Rosiris

I’ve designed, once more, a seamless shawl knitted bottom-up. Rosiris has a flower stitch flowing from the edging to shawl’s upper body which is also worked in lace - small flowers grow from the main pattern. Wrong side rows are purled and the right side combines purls, knits, cables and eyelets, adding an interesting texture to this knit. The crescent shape is made with simple decreases instead of short-rows.

This pattern is easily customizable by casting on more/less sts and adding/subtracting pattern repeats.

Gauge: 20 sts = 10 cm (4”) – unblocked in Lace st with 4 mm (US 6) needles

Measurements: approx 140 cm long by 30 cm wide (55.1 x 11.8”) after blocking.

20.05.2012 - I ran out of yarn and decided to combine it with Malabrigo sock in the beautiful ochre color way from Eira’s leftovers. I think it’s a good match and I’m very pleased with the outcome. Can’t wait to see it blocked!

22.05-2012 - I’ve posted a request to test at FPT’s.

09.06.2012 - Pattern has been released. More info at Seni Designs.
