The following pattern has been written using US terms and uses the Overlay Mosaic Technique. Overlay mosaic is worked on right side (RS) only. Each row is made with one color. C1 and C2 are alternated in each row.
BLSCS are the empty blocks on chart and are always made in back loop only (I will call them SC omitting BL). When a normal SC is needed, instructions and chart will say so.
FLDCS are the “X” blocks on chart and are “drop down stitches”, made in stitches from corresponding color row (2nd row down) and through front loop only (I will call them DC omitting FL).
At the end of each row, you will FO your color and leave a tail, that will be worked on later on, while adding the border. The Velvet Vines Shawl is worked with its long side as 1st row.
Beg CH1 of each row doesn’t count as ST.
For this project I used mixed cotton/acrylic yarn, but you can choose whatever yarn you prefer!
I have also made a chart to help you follow the instructions, where all colored squares explain the motif, the empty squares are BLSCS (SCS) and the “X” squares are FLDCS (DCS) made 2 rows below.
The final measurements of the shawl should be around 200 x 30 cm, if you have used the indicated hook size and type of yarn and same n. of repetitions of the motif.
You will also find a printable version that might be helpful.
For adjusting your measurements, keep in mind that you will need to start making your FSC with multiples of 6 STS +2 until you get to the desired length. For the width, I recommend 52 rows, if you want, you can always change that as well.
Reminder: repetition of Pattern Sections start from 2nd ST until next to last one (multiples of 6), and vertically, they occupy rows from 2nd to next to last one. First and last STS of each row, and first and last row don’t follow the different pattern section, just frame them.
At the start of every Row, attach your color with a SS, leaving a long tail, CH1, and proceed with instructions. At the end of Row, FO, leave long tail and cut.
I have made a total of 56 repetitions for each 6 STS part.
