Yeovil 25-05
This is available here as a standalone pattern, but knitters who attend my class on “Three Shawl Shapes Knit on the Bias” will receive the pattern free with their class handout.
I designed this boomerang shawl for a class I was teaching on three shawl shapes knit on the bias. The sawtooth edge in this design is a variation on one of the basic shapes I taught in the class. The pattern is incredibly versatile. The sample you see here was knit in a brushed alpaca yarn, on 5.0 mm (US8) needles. I have also knit the design in a fingering weight cotton blend on 3.5 mm (US 4)needles. The shawl features simple bands of stocking stitch and garter stitch. The knitting is easy enough for a relatively new knitter, and is a relaxing knit for an experienced knitter looking for social knitting or a “palate cleanser.”
The techniques you will need to know, or learn, to complete this project are:
- cast on and bind off;
- knit and purl;
- kfb increase;
- kyok double increase.
Yeovil was only forty-one years old when it became another of the many lost hamlets of the Queen’s Bush. Its population never exceeded a hundred souls. But while it lived, it had a school, a general store, a Methodist church, a sawmill, and a feed mill.
