All Tangled Up
knitting from across the pond

Kiri

Kiri is a triangular shawl, with fern motif, garter stitch border and scalloped edging. Knit in Rowan Kid Silk haze, it has a gossamer effect which belies its warmth. The pattern uses 3 balls of KSH, at 75 grams, it's the perfect shawl to wear throughout the year The Fern motif is a classic Shetland motif that works well either on its own or as a panel within a larger design. I have adapted the original design used by Sharon Miller in her Birch shawl for Rowan, to make the pattern easier for new lace knitters. I used techniques that I have learned from knitting the Fiber Trends designs by Evelyn Clark. This pattern contains charts and written instructions. If youre put off by Birch, which requires casting on a lot of stitches and decreasing to the point, then try this version. Worked from the neck down, it uses a common increasing technique to create the point for a triangular shawl. You can work until you get the length/width that I did, or until you get bored with the pattern. As the

shawl is worked from the neck down, the tension is not as important as getting the fabric that you like. You can easily knit this on heavier or finer yarns. If you are using Kid silk haze, and find yourself running short, buy more yarn. Kid Silk Haze is a nightmare to rip. The shawl above was made with 3 balls of Rowan Kid Silk Haze on 4.5mm needles. All measurements and details provided for this pattern are based on this yarn. This project took me approx 24 hours to complete. Yarn Used: 3 balls Rowan Kid Silk Haze Jelly Blocked Measurements: 77 in x 36 in. (196cm x 91cm) Needles used: 4.5 mm circular, 5.0mm Other supplies length of waste yarn (about 8 inches long), blocking pins Special thanks, to Carol Wessel, for helping me to find a name for this design and Debbie of Larry & Debbie and Margie for errata on edging.

Tips 1. Dont be too optimistic. When you get towards the bottom of the shawl, you will need a lot more yarn that you think to complete a row. It took me nearly a full ball of yarn for complete the edging + 1.5 repeat. To join KSH, just overlap the ends and work 5-6 stitches. The yarn is so hairy that youll probably not be able to find the end to trim. Kid Silk Haze soaked for 20minutes is like dragging a cat out of the tub. The hair will fluff up again once its dry. If you run short of KSH, buy more, unravelling it is really not fun. Rush and youll get bald spots or a tangled mess. It takes a while to get used, to working with such a fine yarn on thick needles. Do not despair if you hate the yarn. This pattern is written so that you can easily substitute any yarn of any weight. Use stitch markers and lifelines if you need them. If you dont need them, dont use them. When blocking, pin out each of the sk2p, so that this forms a point on the edge. Provisional cast-on there are lots of different ones, use which ever you prefer. For waste yarn, I find a length of cotton, in a contrasting colour to work best. I crocheted a single chain for 5 stitches, pulled the end through the last loop then, picked-up the loops with the shawl yarn. The benefit of this is that I can undo the end pull and all the stitches come off very easily. Use whatever needles you like. Although I love my addis, I found the points too dull to work with this yarn. (I like pointy needles). In the end, I used a pair of Inox. Less slippery than Addi but not as gripey as bamboo). This isnt a tip, its a random piece of information. Some people really want all the details. (You know who you are)

Caston Using provisional yarn, cast-on 3 stitches. With shawl yarn, knit 14 rows. Using shawl yarn, knit-up 1 stitch from each garter-stitch ridge. There should be 7 ridges. Undo provisional cast-on and knit these 3 stitches. (3+7+3 stitches = 13 stitches). Turn work. K3, p7, k3. Skip charted instructions to written instructions, if you plan to work from written instructions. Charted Instructions: If you are following charted patterns, please refer to Chart 1. Work Chart 1, one time. Upon completion of Chart 1, refer to Chart 2. Repeat Chart 2, as many times, as you like to get the required width and length. Shawl shown was worked for 12 repeats of chart 2. (approx. 60 inches on neck edge stretched). Please refer to the chart to see approx how much shawl you get if you used 1 ball, 2 balls or 3 balls of KSH. Ensure that you complete the block of stitches required for the pattern repeat before beginning chart 3. Uncompleted leaves are not pretty. Work chart 3, one time. Skip written instructions to written instructions to cast-off instructions.

10. Substituting yarns. KSH is very light and with 3 balls (75g), you have approx 600m. If you plan to substitute, substitute by meterage not weight. If you use a heavier yarn, (DK or Aran), you can achieve the same size shawl using less meterage. Do make sure that you size up the needles accordingly for the effect that you would like to achieve.
