Taking
inspiration from our view of the North Oregon Coast, I have developed
the Coastal Wave Shawl(ette). If
the Coastal Wave Shawl(ette) is knit in a cotton blend,
perfect for cool spring and summer evenings. If knit in blended
wool, great for the blustery winter.
The shawl(ette)
is worked with 2 increases
on beginning Right Side. The
eyelet will be worked on the Wrong
Side, along with
1
decrease,
creating an asymmetrical shawl. The
wave will be worked on the Wrong
Side along with
bind-off
steps.
This might be considered an advance beginner pattern because
knowledge of stitch and shawl construction are helpful. The
shawl(ette)
takes a few evenings or weekends to complete, making the Coastal
Wave
Shawl(ette)
a perfect gift or accessory.

Picot:
(Cast
on, Bind Off,
Cap Sease, p128 variation)
Cast
on 2
stitches using the knit cast on as follows: Knit
the first stitch, but leave the stitch on the left needle. Rotate the
right needle clockwise, insert the tip of the left needle into the
stitch from left to right, repeat once
more to make the
2
stitches. EBO the 2sts.
This
creates
the Picot.
Elastic

(Cast
on, Bind Off, Cap Sease,
p123 variation)
Kl,
* k1, insert left needle into the front of both stitches on right
needle from left to right, and k2togbl; repeat from * This will
elastic bind-off one stitch.
Directions:
(Notes in italic.)
Use
a kitchen/yarn scale to adjust row count for the eyelet, large
eyelet, and wave.
If
working with two 50g coordinating yarns,
alternate Color A & B at the beginning of RS rows.
